Answer 1

in six hours it would be $34.25

Explanation:

The computation of the total cost for 6 hours is shown below:

For one hour it would be $8.50

For two hours

= $13.65 - $8.50

= $5.15

For three hours

= $18.80 - $13.65

= $5.15

For four hours

= $23.95 - $18.80

= $5.15

For five hours

= $23.95 + $5.15

= $29.10

For six hours

= $29.10 + $5.15

= $34.25

Hence, in six hours it would be $34.25
