To estimate how much Preston will earn if he works 5 days, we can take the average of the minimum and maximum amount he earns each day and multiply it by 5.
The average of $64 and $81 is $\frac{64+81}{2}=\frac{145}{2}=72.5$.
Multiplying $72.5$ by 5 gives us $72.5 \times 5 = 362.5$.
Therefore, a reasonable estimation of how much Preston will earn if he works 5 days is $362.5.$
The closest option to this estimation is $\boxed{\text{(C)}$ $370}$.
