You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let C = Cost of trip.
\n" ); document.write( "\"C=1.5%281%29%2B0.3%2849%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Let me explain this...
\n" ); document.write( "A 10 mile trip is terms of 5ths is 50 5ths of a mile
\n" ); document.write( "The 1.5 is the $1.50 for the first 1/5 of a mile.
\n" ); document.write( "There are 49 5ths of a mile left in a 10 mile trip; that is the amount you need to multiply by 0.3.
\n" ); document.write( "So the final answer is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28C=16.2%29\" dollars
