Answer:

17 mile

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of 1/5 miles that is drived after the first 1/5 mile.

Total mile drived  = 1/5 + x(1/5) = (x+1)/5

Total cost = the cost of the first 1/5 mile + the cost of additional 1/5 miles * x

→ 24 = 3 + (0.25)x

→ x = 84

Total mile = (x + 1)/5    (Substitute x)

→  (84 + 1)/5 = 17
