For the first 40 hours, Ann earns her regular rate of $12 per hour.

For the additional 8 hours, she earns one and one-half times her regular rate, which is $12 x 1.5 = $18 per hour.

So, her gross wages for the week would be:

$12 x 40 = $480 (for the first 40 hours)
$18 x 8 = $144 (for the additional 8 hours)
Total gross wages = $480 + $144 = $624

Therefore, the answer is choice C, $624.
