    Question Having trouble writing a formula

    I have this homework assigned for my programming class and I'm having trouble writing the following formula:

    Time (in minutes) = (12 – | 12 – t |)*g/a

    where t is equal to the time of day (in military time)
    a is equal to parking spots availabe
    and g is equal to parking permits given

    Code:
     #include<stdio.h>
       int main () {
           
           int t, a, g;
           double total_time_to_wait;
           
           printf("What hour are you looking for parking?\n");
           scanf("%d", &t);
           
           printf("How many sports are availabe this semester?\n");
           scanf("%d", &a);
           
           printf("How many parking permits were given this semester?\n");
           scanf("%d", &g);
           
           total_time_to_wait= (12-|(12-t)|)*(g/a);
           printf("You will have to wait %.2lf to find parking.", total_time_to_wait);
           
           system("PAUSE");
           return 0;
           
           }

    Not really sure if I'm writing the right way

    EDIT: the second question should be "How many spots..."
