Let $\"+x+\"$ = total number of miles driven
\n" ); document.write( "For each ride, the cost is:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+C+=+3.25+%2B+.85%2A%28+x+-+4+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "I think the 2nd term only applies after 4 miles driven,
\n" ); document.write( "So if $\"+x+=+3+\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+C+=+3.25+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "$3.25
\n" ); document.write( "Other opinions may differ\r
