C. 900
D. 960

Answer :

Final answer:

To calculate the number of hours worked in a year, add the hours worked on weekends to the hours worked on weekdays, considering the number of weekends and weeks off.


Explanation:

To calculate the number of hours worked in a year, we need to consider the number of hours worked on weekends and the number of weeks taken off. Given that you work an 8-hour shift on each weekend day, which is a total of 2 days (Saturday and Sunday), you work 8 * 2 = 16 hours during the weekends.

Now, consider that you take two weeks off during the year. Since there are 52 weeks in a year, taking away two weeks gives us 52 - 2 = 50 working weeks.

Therefore, the total number of hours worked in a year is 16 hours/weekend * 2 weekends + 8 hours/weekday * 50 weekdays = 880 hours.
