I think it is 2.76 I not really sure but I did 5 times 0.5 which is 2.50 then I multiple it by 5% then I added it with 1 1/2
Last year = $5.00

Increase  =  5% of $5
Increase = 0.05 x 5 
Increase  = $0.25

This year = $5 + $0.25 = $5.25

1/2 mile = $5.25
1 1/2 miles = $5.25 x 3
1 1/2 miles = $15.75
