    Calculate Date Difference in terms of Hours

    I'm trying to help my brother who had this MS Excel assignment and I can't seem to get the right formula/logical argument for the conditions set in the problem.

    The Problem is stated as:

    "A car rental service posted a promo online where every vehicle will be rented for only $5 per day with $2 per hour if renter exceeds the prescribed period. If Alex Cooper rented a car at 7:00 AM of September 30 and returned it by 7:00 PM the following day, how much will he pay?"

    I placed A1 as Date of Release, B1 as Date Returned, C1 as Duration, D1 as Excess Hours, E1 as total.
    I got the duration simply by subtracting A1 and B1, but the excess hours doesn't seem to work correctly.

    this will only compute the duration but not the excess hours, sir

    if C1 is a plain number, then try this in D1:

    note: this assumes that C1 is where you enter the duration that is hired.

    if not, then without the duration hired for (the 8 hours) you can not do the calculation because who is to say how long it was hired for

    Using Pepe Le Mokko's approach, I guess excess hours is;

    I think you might need to review the MOD function which gives the remainder of a division so MOD(66,24)=18 for example
