Dear [Contact Person/business]

This letter is to address an issue I experienced while being serviced by one of your staff at (random grocery store), where I purchased a large amount of goods from (store name) on the (date before the letter was sent).

I am severely dissatisfied with your customer service, for a number of reasons. Firstly, the cashier was extremely rude and impolite, and when I reminded (him/her/other) that I was paying for these goods and service, (he/she/other) began a heated argument. The situation became even more discourteous as my children joined me at the cashier's station.  The cashier, who was identified as (name), then went on to charge me more than I owed and threatened to call the police if I did not vacate the premises. I enclosed a copy of the receipt I was given with this letter.

Unfortunately, the problem remains unresolved. To resolve this issue, I am asking that you (A) provide a complete refund of my purchase, and (B) terminate the employ (name). If not, I am threating legal action.

Please contact me within 7 days to confirm that you will concede with my request.   I have prepared a complaint to be submitted to my legal agencies for investigation.  I will not file the complaint if you resolve the problem within this time period I have indicated.  

Thank you for your cooperation on this issue. Please contact me at (phone, email, etc...).  

Sincerely,

Explanation:

in the problem you wrote said that the taxi charges $0.070 per mile(which would be 7 cents per mile), but then in your suggested equation you have it as $0.70 per mile (which is 70 cents per mile).

the latter seems more realistic, so i will assume that the taxi costs $5.00 and charges $0.70 per mile with tolls costing an additional $3.50. and it asks you to find how far you can travel on $36.50.

let x the number of miles traveled. since the taxi charges $0.70 per mile, multiplying this by the miles traveled (x) will yield the cost of the taxi ride as far as how far it took you. then adding this amount to the cost of the taxi ($5.00) and the additional cost for the tolls ($3.50) will give you the total cost of the taxi ride ($36.50)

that is,

            (0.70)x + 5.00 + 3.50 = 36.50

adding the like terms on the left-hand side of this equation, we arrive at the following:

            (0.70)x + 8.50 = 36.50

subtracting 8.50 from both sides of the equation, we get:

            (0.70)x = 28.00

to solve for x, divide both sides of the equation above by the coefficient of x (that being, 0.70):

            x = 40

thus, you can travel up to 40 miles on $36.50
