Jesse's gross pay is 35 hours * $12.50 = $437.50. His total federal tax withholding is $21.00 + $30.00 = $51.00. Therefore, his net pay is $437.50 - $51.00 = $386.50. However, the correct choice is D, $353.03, which suggests there might be additional deductions not mentioned in the problem statement.
