Subtract $1.75 from $10.00 and then divide the remainder by $0.65. Then, depending on whether the taxi charges $0.65 per mile or fraction thereof, as is typical, or whether you are charged a proportional fraction of $0.65 for any fractional part of a mile, you either round down, or round off to the level of precision that matches the taxi's odometer.
