I think that by "differential pay scale", you mean his pay is
$2.15 each for the first 50
$3.15 each for the next 110 (up to 160)
$4.90 each for the next 40 (up to 200)
$6.25 each for the last 10

Then his pay is

50%282.15%29%2B110%283.15%29%2B40%284.90%29%2B10%286.25%29

You can do the calculation as easily as we can....

The differential pay scale is similar to the Tier system that IRS uses, and which is embedded into the various tax brackets (7 in total) in order to 
determine taxpayers' - with taxable income ≥ $100,000 - FEDERAL tax liability for a particular tax year. As seen in the table below, his gross pay is: highlight_green%28%22%24712.50%22%29
