To determine how many hours John will be paid for, we need to consider the different rates at which he is paid for his work during the week, on Saturdays, and Sundays. Let's break it down step by step.

1. Regular Weekday Hours:
- John works 40 hours during the regular weekdays. For these hours, he is paid regular time. Therefore, he will be paid for 40 hours for his regular workweek.

2. Saturday Hours:
- On Saturdays, John is paid 1.5 times (or one and a half times) for every hour he works.
- He works 4 hours on Saturday.
- To calculate the paid hours for Saturday, multiply the hours worked by the time factor: [tex]$4 \, \text{hours} \times 1.5 = 6 \, \text{paid hours}$[/tex].

3. Sunday Hours:
- On Sundays, John is paid twice (2 times) for every hour he works.
- He works 3 hours on Sunday.
- To calculate the paid hours for Sunday, multiply the hours worked by the time factor: [tex]$3 \, \text{hours} \times 2 = 6 \, \text{paid hours}$[/tex].

4. Total Paid Hours:
- Add up all the paid hours: regular hours, Saturday paid hours, and Sunday paid hours.
- Regular hours: 40
- Paid Saturday hours: 6
- Paid Sunday hours: 6
- Total paid hours = [tex]$40 + 6 + 6 = 52 \, \text{hours}$[/tex].

Therefore, John will be paid for a total of 52 hours.
