To determine Charles Smith's gross pay, we need to follow these steps:

1. Determine the total number of hours worked during the week.
- Monday: 4 hours
- Tuesday: 6 hours
- Wednesday: 5 hours
- Thursday: 5 hours
- Friday: 7 hours

Adding these hours together:
[tex]\[ 4 + 6 + 5 + 5 + 7 = 27 \text{ hours} \][/tex]

2. Multiply the total hours worked by his hourly wage to get the gross pay.
- Hourly wage: [tex]$\$[/tex]9.75[tex]$ - Total hours worked: $[/tex]27[tex]$ Gross pay calculation: \[ 9.75 \times 27 = 263.25 \] Therefore, Charles Smith’s gross pay for the week is: \[ \boxed{\$[/tex]263.25}
\]

The correct answer is:
A. [tex]$\$[/tex] 263.25$
