    Answer:

    C. $516

    Step-by-step explanation:

    His regular rate is $8 per hour.

    Since it’s 40 hours a week, it means from Monday to Friday his regular work time is 8 hours per day.

    Thus, for the regular week work, he is to be paid;

    40 × 8 = $320

    Now, we are told he worked 9 hours each day from Monday through Friday.

    This means that;

    He worked 1 hour each day.

    That is 5 hours extra from Monday to Friday.

    He is paid one and one-half times the regular hourly rate.

    Thus, for this 5 extra hours, he will be paid 1½ × 5 × 8 = $60

    He works 6 hours on Saturday, and 4 hours on Sunday.

    Thus;

    For Saturday, he is also paid one and one-half of regular pay. Thus, he is due for;

    1½ × 8 × 6 = $72

    He is paid double the regular hourly pay for Sundays.

    Thus, for 4 hours on Sunday, he is paid;

    2 × 8 × 4 = $64

    Total he is due = $320 + $60 + $72 + $64 = $516
