Let us assume that the gross pay is x dollars. Therefore, take home pay must be 78% of x because 22% of the pay is withheld as taxes, so you get to take home only 78% of the gross pay.

Since we have been given that take home pay is $1500 and it is 78% of the total gross pay. Therefore, we can set up an equation:

$78\%\text{ of }x=1500\\\frac{78}{100}x=1500\\0.78x=1500\\x=\frac{1500}{0.78}\\x=\$1923.08$

Therefore, gross pay is $1923.08

The final probability is the weighted average of the playing probabilities calculated over the possible weather options:

P(john practices cello; given that it rains) * P(it rains) +

P(john practices cello; given that it does not rain) * P(it does not rain) =

0.6 * 0.7 + 0.4 * 0.3 = 0.54

The probability is 54%
