That's JQuery like syntax.
IMO, Don't waste your time learning JQuery, I've been there and done that already.
JQuery is obsolete now, because modern browsers support modern JavaScript.
JQuery adds 3 Lbs to your first page download, and is very heavy in weight, in exchange to write shorthand JavaScript.

The reason your not absorbing or moving faster with knowledge is because your looking at shorthand JavaScript/JQuery examples, and trying to understand and copy them. These are very advanced writing skills. You should start with entry level skill writing, and when you get that down, move to shorthand.

I would of wrote it like this, for a beginner example.
ES6

Use HTML to bind the event to the button, and run calcTime().
Use camel case to label things eg. calcTime vs CalcTime vs calc-time
let has replaced var
use const instead of var or let to when something that is constant.
Try not to make a lot of const, see how I did it in one line

ES6 Example
<button type="button" onBlur="calcTime()">Calculate</button>

function calcTime() {

  // Make references to input elements
  const time = document.getElementById("currentCharge"),
    current = document.getElementById("timeAllowed"),
    breakEven = document.getElementById("breakEven");

  // Get the element values, convert to number/float
  // By default, values are strings, and don't do math well.
  let t = parseFloat(time.value);
  let c = parseFloat(current.value);

  // Perform the equation
  let bE = t * c;

  // Output the equation
  breakEven.innerHTML = bE.toString();

}

JavaScript comes in many flavors now.
I think you want ECMAScript 6, ES6, ECMAScript 2015
From there, you can branch out to TypeScript, Node, etc.
I don't know of a good learning course, but you need to stick to one version in order to learn.
And when searching for help on the internet, find examples in ES6; learn to identity ES6 examples, and then code and test.
If it ain't broke don't fix it
