<human>:  Very early this morning, Elise left home in a cab headed for the hospital. Fortunately, the roads were clear, and the cab company only charged her a base price of $3, and $4 for every mile she traveled. If Elise paid a total of $23, how far is the hospital from her house?
<bot>: How much did Elise pay in total? ** For the distance she traveled, Elise paid 23 - 3 = <<23-3=20>>20 dollars
How far is the hospital from Elise’s house? ** Since the cost per mile is $4, the distance from Elise’s house to the hospital is 20/4 = <<20/4=5>>5 miles.
