To calculate Paul's gross earnings, we need to consider his regular time, overtime, and the midnight shift.

First, let's calculate his regular earnings:

Regular Time Earnings = Regular Hours Worked x Hourly Rate
Regular Time Earnings = 40 hours x $8.25/hour
Regular Time Earnings = $330

Next, let's determine his overtime earnings:

Overtime Hours = Total Hours Worked - Regular Hours (as overtime starts after 40 hours)
Overtime Hours = 58 hours - 40 hours
Overtime Hours = 18 hours

Overtime Earnings = Overtime Hours x 1.5 x Hourly Rate
Overtime Earnings = 18 hours x 1.5 x $8.25/hour
Overtime Earnings = $222.75

Finally, let's calculate his earnings for the midnight shift:

Midnight Shift Earnings = Midnight Shift Hours x 2 x Hourly Rate
Midnight Shift Earnings = 6 hours x 2 x $8.25/hour
Midnight Shift Earnings = $99

Now, we can calculate Paul's gross earnings by adding up his regular earnings, overtime earnings, and midnight shift earnings:

Gross Earnings = Regular Time Earnings + Overtime Earnings + Midnight Shift Earnings
Gross Earnings = $330 + $222.75 + $99
Gross Earnings = $651.75

Therefore, Paul's gross earnings for last week were $651.75.

day shift 40 * 8.25

overtime 58-6 -40 = 12 *1.5*8.25
midnight shift 6* 2 * 8.25
so
8.25 (40 + 18 + 12) = 67*8.25 = 552.75
