In 28 days, there are 4 weeks. Since he doesn't work on Saturdays and Sundays. He works 5 days per week and thus he works 4 x 5 = 20 days. Since he only gets paid for every other newspaper, we can say that he gets paid for half of the 620, or 310 newspapers, he delivers each day .

Thus, he could make 4.2 x 20 x 310 = 26,040 cents = 260.4 dollars.

Answer: D
