1. **Problem Statement:** Calculate the total number of hours worked based on the given start and end times for Monday, Friday, and Saturday. 2. **Understanding the problem:** We have start and end times for three days. We need to find the hours worked each day by subtracting the start time from the end time. 3. **Formula:** Hours worked = End time - Start time 4. **Calculations:** - Monday: From 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM is $9 - 5 = 4$ hours. - Friday: From 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM is $10 - 5 = 5$ hours. - Saturday: From 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM is $6 - 10 = -4$ hours, but since 6:00 PM is 18:00 in 24-hour format, it is $18 - 10 = 8$ hours. 5. **Total hours worked:** $$4 + 5 + 8 = 17$$ hours 6. **Interpreting the options:** The numbers $238$, $224$, $221$, and $252$ likely represent total earnings or some other quantity, but since the problem only provides times, the total hours worked is 17. If the question is to find total hours worked, the answer is 17 hours. If the question is about earnings, more information is needed. Since the user only provided times and options without a clear question, the best we can do is calculate total hours worked.
