To use the hundredth-hour method, we need to first subtract the time she clocked out from the time she clocked in to get the total time worked for each day. Here are the total hours worked each day:

Monday: 4.01 hours 
Tuesday: 4.96 hours 
Wednesday: 4.85 hours 
Thursday: 4.32 hours 
Friday: 5.45 hours

To get the total hours worked for the week, we add up these daily totals:

4.01 + 4.96 + 4.85 + 4.32 + 5.45 = 23.59 hours

Since Brandie is paid by the hundredth-hour method, we need to round this to the nearest hundredth:

23.59 hours rounded to two decimal places is 23.60 hours

Therefore, Brandie worked 40.27 hours during that week (23.60 hours + 16.67 hours).

So the answer is C.
