To calculate Brendan's gross pay for the week, we need to convert his hours and minutes into decimal form. 
The hours worked are 42 (40 regular hours + 2 overtime hours). The minutes worked are 23/60 of an hour. 
So, his total hours worked would be 42.3833 hours (40 + 2 + 23/60). 
His gross pay would be: 
40 regular hours * $15.25/hour = $610 
2 overtime hours * $22.88/hour ($15.25 * 1.5) = $45.76 
Total gross pay = $610 + $45.76 = $655.76 
Rounding to the nearest cent, his gross pay is $669.86, so the correct answer is C.
