Finding overall time

Trying to find the total time worked in this. Cant seem to figure out what I have wrong.

#Problem 3, Python, Extra Credit
hourStart = int(input("Please enter the hour that Jimmy started work."))

minStart = int(input("Please enter the minute on the hour that Jimmy started work."))

hourEnd = int(input("Please enter the hour that Jimmy ended work."))

minEnd = int(input("Please enter the minute on the hour that Jimmy ended work."))

lunchHourStart = int(input("Please enter that hour that Jimmy started lunch."))

lunchMinStart = int(input("Please enter the minute on the hour that Jimmy started lunch."))

lunchHourEnd = int(input("Please enter the hour that Jimmy ended his lunch break."))

lunchMinEnd =int(input("Please enter the minute on the hour that Jimmy ended his lunch break."))

start = hourStart * 60 + minStart

end = hourEnd * 60 + minEnd

totalTime = end + start

lunchStart = lunchHourStart * 60 + lunchMinStart

lunchEnd = lunchHourEnd * 60 + lunchMinEnd

lunchTime = lunchEnd - lunchStart

timeWorked = (totalTime - lunchTime) * 60

hoursWorked = int(timeWorked)

min = (timeWorked - hoursWorked) * 60

print (min)

Total time should be calculated as

totalTime = end - start

All durations are in minutes, so the following is already in minutes, and does not need to be multiplied by 60:

timeWorked = (totalTime - lunchTime)

Now you have timeWorked in minutes, so in hours that is:

hoursWorked = int(timeWorked / 60)

and the minutes would be the remainder:

minutesWorked = timeWorked % 60

The last 2 statements could be replaced with divmod():

hoursWorked, minutesWorked = divmod(timeWorked, 60)
