add(add(multiply(12, 3), 4), multiply(divide(12, const_60), divide(25, 4)))
it costs $ 4 for the first 1 / 4 hour to use the laundry machine at the laundromat . after the first ¼ hour it costs $ 12 per hour . if a certain customer uses the laundry machine for 3 hours and 25 minutes , how much will it cost him ?
"3 hrs 25 min = 205 min first 15 min - - - - - - > $ 4 time left is 190 min . . . now , 60 min costs $ 12 1 min costs $ 12 / 60 190 min costs $ 12 / 60 * 190 = > $ 38 so , total cost will be $ 38 + $ 4 = > $ 42 hene answer will be ( e ) $ 42"
a = 12 * 3 b = a + 4 c = 12 / const_60 d = 25 / 4 e = c * d f = b + e
