To determine the employee's gross pay, we need to sum the net pay and all deductions. Here are the details given:
- Federal Withholding: \[tex]$98.00
- Social Security Withholding: \$[/tex]52.88
- Medicare Care Withholding: \[tex]$12.37
- State Withholding: \$[/tex]22.54
- Net Pay: \[tex]$667.17
The gross pay is the total earnings before any deductions are made. Therefore, we can find the gross pay by adding all these components together:
\[
\text{Gross Pay} = \text{Net Pay} + \text{Federal Withholding} + \text{Social Security Withholding} + \text{Medicare Care Withholding} + \text{State Withholding}
\]
Let's sum these values step by step:
1. First, add the Federal Withholding to the Net Pay:
\[
667.17 + 98.00 = 765.17
\]
2. Next, add the Social Security Withholding:
\[
765.17 + 52.88 = 818.05
\]
3. Then, add the Medicare Care Withholding:
\[
818.05 + 12.37 = 830.42
\]
4. Finally, add the State Withholding:
\[
830.42 + 22.54 = 852.96
\]
Thus, the total or gross pay is:
\[
\boxed{852.96}
\]
So, the employee's gross pay is \$[/tex]852.96, which corresponds to answer choice (d).
