To find an estimate of how much Preston will earn if he works 5 days, we can find the average of the minimum and maximum amounts he earns each day and then multiply that average by 5.
The average of $64 and $81 is $(64 + 81)/2 = 145/2 = 72.5$.
Therefore, Preston will earn approximately $72.5 * 5 = 362.5$.
The closest option to this estimate is $\boxed{\text{(C)}$370}.
