Default How to multiply hours by a dollar amount

Hi,

I think your time formula is probably [h]:mm and to get the answer you want
try this

=(A1*24)*B1

Where a1 is your time and B1 is the hourly rate. Ensure the answer cell is
formatted general.

Thanks to Biff for helping me get the first of my timesheet problems figured
out. Now I am hoping to be able to take the amount of hours and multiply it
by a dollar amount to get a total.

So I want to take 25:30 (column a) and multiply that by $5 hour (column c)
to get a grand total.

So I put in: =a28*c28 and it gives me $3.92 which is obviously not right.

Column a is formatted as [h:mm] and column c is formatted as currency which
I think is where my problem is but don't know what I need to do to fix it.

Thanks for any insight.
