Seems too easy. Am I missing something?
Alba's face painting charges a flat rate of $50.00 for set up and travel and an additional $60.00 per hour for the face painting service. Cathy's bill for Linda's birthday party was just over $450.00. How long to the nearest hour was Alba providing face painting for Linda's party?
So I deduct the 50.00 flat rate to determine how many hours: 450.00 - 50 = 400/60 = 6.66 hours. So 7 hours?
I think the "just over" $450.00 and rounding to the nearest hour is confusing me.

With information given, sounds right to me... That "just over" wording needs to be more clear. I'd challenge the question if anyone says you wrong.
