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