Each day has 3 shifts (24 hours ÷ 8 hours).
Sunday–Thursday (5 days): 3 shifts × $600 × 5 days = $9,000
Friday–Saturday (2 days): $600 × 1.25 = $750 per shift 3 shifts × $750 × 2 days = $4,500
Total: $9,000 + $4,500 = $15,500

You could also reason that there are 21 shifts in a week : 21*600 =12,600 would be the weekly profit if all shifts generated 600 dollars of profit

6 shifts generate an extra 150 dollars profit = 900

13,500 in total
