My code is producing two answers, but it is only supposed to print one.

my code is producing:

payment = fare(1.45,17)

pay2 =

   11.2500

payment =

    1.6900

The code itself is:

function payment = fare(miles,age)
    pay1 =0;
    pay2=0;
    pay3=0;
    if miles <= 1
        pay1 = 200;
        payment = pay1;
    elseif miles <=10
        pay1= 200;
        pay2 = (miles-1)*0.25*100
        payment = pay1+pay2;
    elseif miles>10
        pay1 = 200
        pay2 = (10-1)*0.25*100
        pay3 = (miles-10)*0.10*100
        payment = pay1+pay2+pay3;
    end
    payment = (pay1+pay2+pay3)/100;
    if age <=18 || age>=65
        payment = (pay1+pay2+pay3)*0.8/100;
    else
        payment=(pay1+pay2+pay3)/100;
    end

end

Why is this spitting out two answers when I only want it to return "payment"?

Please stop asking the same question multiple times.

DJ, the function is only returning only one variable, payment.

pay2 is only displayed because there is no semi-colon after the command

pay2 = (miles-1)*0.25*100
