His regular earnings (based on regular rates) is $480 while his total earnings for the week ended March 15 is $738.

Explanation:

Regular rate = $12 per hour

Rate for hours in excess of 40 hours per week

= (3/2) * $12

= $18

Rate for hours for Sunday is double

= 2 * $12

= $24

During the week ended March 15, 9 hours each day from Monday through Friday, 6 hours on Saturday, and 4 hours on Sunday

Period in excess of 40 hours during the week

= (9 * 5) + 4 - 40

= 9

Total regular earning = 40 * $12

= $480

Additional earnings = (9 * $18) + (4 * $24)

= $162 + $96

= $258

Total earnings = $480 + $258

= $738
