When we say "double time for Sunday," we can compute the pay by multiplying the pay by 2 and using the given hours, or we can multiply the hours by 2 and use the given pay. It may be easier to do the latter.

... (38 h + 2*8 h) * ($15.50/h) = 54*$15.50 = $837

Wind Song's gross pay for the week will be $837.00.
