Sydney's regular pay for the week is:
40 hours x $15/hour = $600

For the 10 hours of overtime, Sydney earns time and a half, which means she earns:
10 hours x $22.50/hour = $225

Her total gross pay for the week is:
$600 regular pay + $225 overtime pay = $825.00

Therefore, the correct answer is C.

Sydney Earns $15 Per Hour and Works 40 Hours a Week
