At that time a taxi ride in Austin was $1.15 for the first 1/5 of a mile and $0.15 for each additional 1/5 of a mile.

1/5 of mile = 0.2 miles
Distance from hotel to Airport = 6.5 miles
For first 0.2 miles charge = $1.15
Remaining miles = 6.5 - .2 = 6.3 miles
Each additional 0.2 miles charge = $0.15
Number of Additional 0.2 miles in the remaining distance = 6.3/0.2 = 31.5
Cost of travelling the remaining 6.3 miles = 31.5 * .15 = $4.725
Total cost = cost of tirst 0.2 miles + the cost of remaining 6.3 miles
= 1.15 + 4.725 = $5.875
Total cost from hotel to airport = $5.88
