To find Armod's gross pay, we first need to determine how many regular hours he worked and how many overtime hours he worked. Since he worked 47 hours in total, and overtime is paid at time and a half, we can set up the following equation:

Regular hours + Overtime hours = Total hours
x + 1.5x = 47
2.5x = 47
x = 18.8

So Armod worked 18.8 regular hours and 28.2 overtime hours. To find his gross pay, we can calculate:

Regular pay = regular hours x regular rate = 18.8 x 10.49 = $197.31
Overtime pay = overtime hours x (regular rate x 1.5) = 28.2 x (10.49 x 1.5) = $332.44
Gross pay = Regular pay + Overtime pay = $197.31 + $332.44 = $529.75

Therefore, the best choice is C, $529.75.
