Final answer:

The actual overtime pay for the weekend is $252.31, which is not listed among the provided options. It is calculated based on time and a half for Saturday and double time for Sunday at an hourly rate of $8.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the overtime pay for the weekend, we need to compute the hours worked on Saturday and Sunday and then apply the respective overtime rates. Let's calculate the hours worked each day:

  • Saturday: (11:30 - 7:00) + (4:00 - 12:00) = 4.5 + 4 = 8.5 hours
  • Sunday: (12:15 - 8:15) + (5:00 - 1:00) = 4 + 4 = 8 hours

Saturday's pay is calculated with time and a half and Sunday's pay with double time for the hourly rate of $8.75. Calculating the pay:

  • Saturday Overtime Pay: 8.5 hours × $8.75 × 1.5 (time and a half) = $112.31
  • Sunday Overtime Pay: 8 hours × $8.75 × 2 (double time) = $140

Adding both pays gives the total overtime pay for the weekend:

Total Overtime Pay = Saturday Overtime Pay + Sunday Overtime Pay

Total Overtime Pay = $112.31 + $140 = $252.31

Therefore, the correct answer is not listed among the options provided. The actual overtime pay for the weekend is $252.31.
