To determine the employee's gross pay, we need to first calculate the total deductions and then add these deductions to the net pay. Here is the step-by-step solution:

1. List the amounts withheld:
- Federal withholding: \[tex]$62.00 - Social Security withholding: \$[/tex]45.06
- Medicare withholding: \[tex]$10.54 - State withholding: \$[/tex]12.40

2. Calculate the total deductions:
- Total deductions = \[tex]$62.00 + \$[/tex]45.06 + \[tex]$10.54 + \$[/tex]12.40
- Total deductions = \[tex]$130.00 3. Determine the net pay: - Net pay = \$[/tex]596.80

4. Calculate the gross pay by adding the total deductions to the net pay:
- Gross pay = Net pay + Total deductions
- Gross pay = \[tex]$596.80 + \$[/tex]130.00
- Gross pay = \[tex]$726.80 Therefore, the employee's gross pay is \$[/tex]726.80.

The correct answer is:
d. \$726.80
