Gross earning for the week is #$976 #

Payment for #40# hour work week at #$10# per hour is

#W=40*10= $400#

Total apples picked at #180# kg per hour is #N=180*40=7200# kg

Incentive payment for picking of #7200# kg apple at #$8# per

#100# kg of apple is #I= 7200/100*8= $576#

Gross earning for the week is #G=W+I= 400+576=$976 #[Ans]
