Question

Assignment:

My friend, Cary Parker, owns a small parking garage downtown. She wants you to write a program to help her calculate the parking charge at the payment booth.

The price to park in the lot is $5.50 per hour, plus city parking tax. However, partial hours (even one minute into an additional hour) are charged at the full hour’s rate. For example, if you park for exactly 60 minutes, or less, you will pay $5.50 plus tax, but if you park for 61 minutes you will pay $11.00 plus tax. At 121 minutes you will pay $16.50 plus tax, and so on. The city parking tax is calculated at 9.5% of the parking fee.

Cary operates her parking lot using a 24 hour clock, so, for example, half past midnight is 00:30, 10:30 am is 10:30, and 10:30pm is 22:30. The garage closes at midnight, so you don't have to worry about entering the garage one day and leaving the next.
