If A pays B $200 a week, how much is due to B on the first of every month...

Now B. Changed the rules and demand all 4 weeks in one payment how much is on the first of next month
 
B is demanding all the payment, on the first for The next month now

I believe that if if pay 200 a week and on the first i am being forced to pay 800 that makes it 1600 a month

What is the basis of such belief? Please share your calculations (leading to such belief).

If A pays B 200 a week right from the first, and B now ask for 800 on the first,

Month1= Week 1, 200, week2 200, week3 200, week4 200,

On week5 B is demanding full payments

Which make from 0 to 5 = 1600

But that 5 th week is NOT within a month of the first week......
 
If you are paying a contract worker - depends on your contract.

Are you supposed to consider interest rate -
the interest on $800 - paid ahead of the work performed?​

By the way, what is the "genesis" of the problem - class-assignment? contract work?

Why is B getting 800/month from A?
 
If B is demanding all 800 on Week5, I am asuming the next 800 should be paid on week8 and from there in it is ok to pay the 800

First, as Subhotosh Khan correctly said, this is first and foremost a legal question: what does the contract say. Only when we know the exact terms of the contract does this become a math problem.

Second, as a practical matter, there is a difference in practices relating to whether payment involves wages or salaries.

Third, it is almost invariably the case that payment is made after the work is done. People who are paid by the week are not paid on the first or last days of the week.

Fourth, only one month of the year can possibly contain exactly four weeks. if an employer did agree to pay for multiple weeks' worth of work on the first day of the month, we would need to know how many weeks there were in the relevant month and whether the relevant month was the month preceding the month of payment or some other month.

This is rent, A was paying weekly 200 on. Verbal and mutual agreedment
 
As JeffM pointed out, most months do not have exactly four weeks. So if payments are made every week or every 4 weeks or every weeks the payments will rarely be due on the 1st of a month, even if the initial payment was made on the 1st.

Yes 200 per week, 800 per month, 9600 per year and so on, but it was initially 200 week, the problem is that by changing the terms it makes it 1600 in one month

I don't think that is true. Start of week 1 pay $200. Start of week 2 pay $200. Start of week 3 pay $200. Start of week 4 pay $200. 1st of month pay $800. The 4-$200 was for 4 weeks (ie a month) and the $800 was for the next month. So yes you paid $1600 but it was for 2 months of rent.

Consider it this way. The 1st of the 2nd month you were supposed to pay $800 but you didn't't have it. All you had on the 1st was $200 and agreed to pay $200 each week for a total of 4 weeks (including the payment you made on the 1st). This would keep things the same yet it is equivalent to making the total payment on the 1st.
Here is another way to think about it. Suppose on the 1st you had all $800. Now you could give the whole amount for your rent or you can pay $200 weekly until the $800 runs out. Either way you get to stay in the apartment for 4 weeks (ie a full month)
Suppose you make the 4 weekly payments and then move out. The new landlord for you wants $800 a month which you pay when you move in. Still at the end of two month you paid a total of $800.

Rents are generally paid in the beginning of a period (week or month). Also remember paying monthly (as opposed to weekly) is advantageous for the renter (when there is no interest to consider) - considering the full year. There are 12 months/annum but there 52 weeks/annum.

You do realize, I hope, that if you do not explain things clearly, it will prevent, or at least delay, getting a meaningful answer.

Jomo asked you whether it was 800 per month. You answered, "Yes, 200 hundred per week."

Do you not answered that 800 per month is different from 200 per week? 4 weeks is exactly 28 days. 1 month averages about 30.3 days. Your question makes no sense.
