To calculate Brendan's gross pay, we first need to convert the minutes to hundredths of an hour.

Monday: 8.75 hours 
Tuesday: 7.87 hours 
Wednesday: 8.00 hours 
Thursday: 9.60 hours 
Friday: 8.40 hours

Total hours worked = 42.62

Since Brendan worked more than 40 hours, he is entitled to overtime pay. His regular pay for 40 hours is:

40 hours * $15.25/hour = $610.00

His overtime pay is calculated by multiplying the extra hours by 1.5 times the hourly rate.

2.62 hours * $22.875/hour = $59.86

Therefore, his gross pay for the week is:

$610.00 + $59.86 = $669.86

The answer is C, $669.86.
