The gross pay will be #$29,913#.

To arrive at the gross pay, we have to first calculate the commission amount and then add that to the annual salary.

The commission #x# is #6%# on sales of #$2,500#. Hence:

#x=2500xx6/100#

#x=25cancel00xx6/(1cancel00)#

#x=25xx6#

#x=150#

Since the annual salary is #$29,763#, we add the commission amount of #$150# to determine the gross pay.

#29,763+150=29,913#
