Nearest Hour

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.

Yes, "just over" is ambiguous. Is it $0.01 or $30.00? I'll solve below just using >.
