( dollars earned / time to earn them ) x ( time spent filming ) = total dollars earned
Convert seconds to minutes
+48%2F60+=+4%2F5+
+20%2F5+%2B+4%2F5+=+24%2F5+
+24%2F5+=+48%2F10+
--------------------------
Convert hours to minutes
+2%2A60+=+120+
+120+%2B+10+=+130+
+%28+1000+%2F+4.8+%29%2A130+=+130000%2F4.8+
+27083.33+
