Weekend just includes Saturdays and Sundays, so you don't have to count the earnings on Friday. You simply have to count the number of hours that passed from 7 am to 11 pm on Saturday. That would be a total of 16 hours. While on Sunday, the time from 9 am to 9 pm is a total of 12 hours. Hence, the total time would be 16 hours + 12 hours = 28 hours

Gross Wage = $20(28 hours) = $560
