Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate Pay for the First 160 Items

Rachael is paid at a rate of \(\$9.18\) per item for the first 160 items. Therefore, the pay for these items is calculated as follows:

\[ \text{Pay for first 160 items} = 160 \times 9.18 = 1468.8 \]

Step 2: Calculate Pay for Items Over 160

Rachael produced a total of 424 items. The number of items over 160 is:

\[ \text{Items over 160} = 424 - 160 = 264 \]

For these additional 264 items, she is paid at a rate of \(\$11.21\) per item. Therefore, the pay for these items is:

\[ \text{Pay for items over 160} = 264 \times 11.21 = 2959.44 \]

Step 3: Calculate Total Gross Pay

The total gross pay is the sum of the pay for the first 160 items and the pay for the items over 160:

\[ \text{Total Gross Pay} = 1468.8 + 2959.44 = 4428.24 \]

Final Answer

Rachael's gross pay for producing 424 items is \(\boxed{4428.24}\).

At t=0 s, the number of Y particles is the number of A particles. At t=60 s, the number of the Z particles is the number of B particles. Therefore, the number of Y particles turned into Z particles is the number of A particles turned to B particles for the same amount of time. Therefore, the rate of reaction Y → Z is the rate of the reaction A → B.
