Hi,

You can try this:

function fare = taxi_fare(d,t)
    fkm = 1; % first km
    add_km = ceil(d-fkm); % additional km, perform ceil as stated in question
    costkm = (fkm*5)+(add_km*2); % First km * 5 + additiona kms * 2
    waittime = ceil(t);  % Calculate the wait time
    costWaittime = waittime*0.25; % Fare for wait time
    fare = costkm + costWaittime; % Total cost
end

Hope this helps.
