Miscalculation

IT's actually 4.8¢ per mile. Here's why...

LAX-PVG = 6485mi, PVG-SGN = 1702mi. LAX-PVG-SGN = 8187mi. B-fare calculation will give 8187mi x 150% for a total of 12281mi.

For USD600 divided by 12281 miles, it comes to about 4.88¢ per mile. Am I missing a hidden extra segment in the routing?
