The center of the clock is taken as the origin.The clock is a circle with a diameter 10 units.Radius is half the diameter .Radius = 10 ÷2= 5 units.
The clock is divided in four quadrants .On x axis y=0 and on y axis x=0.
When it is 12 o'clock the hour hand is on positive of y axis.Coordinates of the point at 12 o'clock=(0,5)
When it is 3 o 'clock the hour hand is on positive of x axis .Coordinate of the point at 3o'clock is (5,0)
When it is 6 o'clock the hour hand is on negative of y axis .The coordinates of the point at 6o'clock is (0,-5)
At 9o'clock the hour hand is on negative of x axis .The coordinate of the point at 6o'clock is(-5,0)
let's bear in mind that B is the midpoint and thus it cuts a segment into two equal halves.

You can solve this by using the system of equations.
Jan - 4.95 = 2H + 3C
Wayne - 5.45 = 3H + 2C
Use elimination.
-3(2H + 3C = 4.95)
2(3H + 2C = 5.45)
Solve. And you'll get:
-6H + (-9C) = -14.85
6H + 4C = 10.9
Cross out -6H and 6H because they cancel out. And you're left with:
-9C = -14.85
4C = 10.9
Add -9C with 4C, and -14.85 with 10.9.
-5C = -3.95
Divide each side with -5.
C = $0.79
Now to figure out what H is, just substitute the C in one of the equations with 0.79.
5.45 = 3H + 2(0.79)
5.45 = 3H + 1.58
-1.58 -1.58
3.87 = 3H
3.87/3 = 3/3(H)
1.29 = H
Finished!
