Question
I worked

7.3-5
7.3-5
8-5
8-5
8-5

This week with only a half hour lunch break each day. How many hours billing time does that make it?

Answer
If all you took was .5hr luch break ou could subtract that off each difference or you could just multiply 5 days by .5 hr (2.5 hr) and subtract that off the total hours for the week (which is probably the easiest, so let's do that).

I am going to assume that you mean 7:30 by 7.3, if not, you will need to be clearer.

7.3-5 = 9.5
7.3-5 = 9.5
8-5    = 9.0
8-5    = 9.0
8-5    = 9.0
          _____
           46.0 hours and now subtract off 2.5 hours yielding 43.5 hours to be billed.
