To calculate Brendan's gross pay for the week, we need to first convert the minutes worked into decimal form using the hundredth-hour method.

11 hours and 6 minutes is equivalent to 11.10 hours (since there are 60 minutes in an hour and 6/60 = 0.10).

To calculate his gross pay, we need to consider both his regular pay and his overtime pay.

For the first 40 hours, he earns his regular rate of $15.25 per hour: 
40 hours x $15.25/hour = $610.00

For the additional 0.10 hours, he earns overtime pay at 1.5 times his regular rate: 
0.10 hours x $15.25/hour x 1.5 = $2.29

Adding his regular pay and overtime pay together, we get: 
$610.00 + $2.29 = $612.29

Therefore, Brendan's gross pay for the week is $669.86 (since he worked more than 40 hours, he earned overtime pay for the additional minutes worked).
