title: How do I add fines?
body: <p>I am new to coding and was wondering how would I go about coding this fine? I am pretty sure I am going about it the wrong coding way if anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated.  </p>
  
  <p>Below is what is expected:</p>
  
  <p>The fine will be a dollar value, which is a double data type.  ParkingTicket will not have a double-typed fine variable.  Instead, it calculates the fine on-demand, using the minutesPaid and minutesParked variables.
  Impark levies a flat-rate fine of $20 (always), plus $10 aggravated penalties for every whole hour (60 minutes) parked beyond the paid amount.  As a Canadian institution, Impark is also obligated to add the 5% Goods and Services Tax surcharge.  A surcharge is multiplied after all other sums have been calculated.
  You are responsible for producing the result of this calculation in calculateFine().</p>
  
  <p>So far this is what I have, :</p>
  
  <pre><code>public static double calculateFine()
  {
      double meterMinutesPaidWithTax = 20*0.05;
      double meterMinutesPaid = 20;
      double pentalty = 10;
      double tax = 0.05;
      double overParked = (carMinutesParked+=1);
  
  
  
      if(carMinutesParked&lt;=carMinutesParked){
          return meterMinutesPaidWithTax = meterMinutesPaidWithTax+meterMinutesPaid;
      }
      else if(carMinutesParked&gt;overParked){
          return meterMinutesPaid = (meterMinutesPaid + pentalty)*tax+(meterMinutesPaid + pentalty);
      }
      else{
          return meterMinutesPaidWithTax;
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
