1. The problem asks for the gross amount for the listed numbers after deducting 2% from the amount 339. 2. First, let's understand that deducting 2% from 339 means calculating $$ 339 - 0.02 \times 339 $$. 3. Calculate the deduction: $$ 0.02 \times 339 = 6.78 $$. 4. Subtract the deduction from 339: $$ 339 - 6.78 = 332.22 $$. 5. Next, sum all the given numbers (including the 332.22 after deduction instead of 339): Numbers given are 332.22, 1693, 650, 704, 731, 782, 797, 762. 6. Sum them: $$ 332.22 + 1693 + 650 + 704 + 731 + 782 + 797 + 762 = 6451.22 $$. 7. Therefore, the gross amount after deducting 2% from 339 is $$ 6451.22 $$.
