Default Figuring cost based on hours

i need to get a total cost for time tracked. When I use a basic formula it
is incorrect, and I am not sure what I need to do.
Ex: Hours worked: 208:30
Cost per hour is: $25
Total should be: $5,207.50
When I multiply I get $217.19!!!! I can't get the right answer. What sort
of formula do I have to use?

There must be some rounding errors going on. But you should be able to
multiply your answer by 24 and get the right figure.
