0.72 + (0.15 * 59) =
0.72 + 8.85 = $9.57

you do not pay fifteen cents for the first .1 mile. It is included in the 72 cents.
However if it is 15 cents for 1/10 mile, then it is 1.50 per mile and I think that .15(6-.1).1 should really be
.15(6-.1)/.1
anyway whoever wrote that then did the calculation correctly
.72 + 1.50 (5.9) = $9.57
