Divide 27 by 3600 and add the decimal representation to the decimal representation of 6 divided by 60. Add that sum to the number of hours that were taken which you didn't bother to share with us. Once you have the hours expressed as a whole number with a decimal fraction, divide that number into 500. Round the result to the nearest 10th.
