Simon worked from 8:15 A.M. to 10:30 P.M., which is a total of 14 hours and 15 minutes, or 14.25 hours. He gets paid $10 per hour for the first 8 hours and time and a half ($15 per hour) for any hours over 8. For the first 8 hours, he earns 8 * $10 = $80. For the remaining 6.25 hours, he earns 6.25 * $15 = $93.75. Therefore, his total pay is $80 + $93.75 = $173.75. Hence, the correct calculated amount is $173.75.
