The additional income for one shift is $55.00 x 18% = $9.90. 
Therefore, the additional income for five shifts is $9.90 x 5 = $49.50. 
The total additional income for the week is $49.50 x 168 guests = $8,316.00. 
Therefore, the answer is D, $1,663.20 (assuming the question is asking for the additional income earned by the waitperson for the week).
