It costs $5.15 to rent a kayak for 1 hour at a local state park. The price per hour remains the same for up to 5 hours of rental. After 5 hours, the cost is reduced to $3.75 per hour. How much would it cost to rent a kayak for 6 hours?

To rent a kayak for 6 hours, the cost is $25.75 for the first 5 hours and an additional $3.75 for the 6th hour, totaling $29.50.
To calculate the cost of renting a kayak for 6 hours, where the first 5 hours are at a rate of $5.15 per hour and any subsequent hours are at a rate of $3.75 per hour, we first calculate the cost of the first 5 hours and then add the cost of the 6th hour at the reduced rate.
Cost for the first 5 hours = 5 hours x $5.15 per hour = $25.75
Cost for the 6th hour = 1 hour x $3.75 per hour = $3.75
Total cost = Cost for first 5 hours + Cost for the 6th hour = $25.75 + $3.75 = $29.50
Therefore, it would cost $29.50 to rent a kayak for 6 hours at the local state park.
To rent a kayak for 6 hours, the total cost is calculated by adding the cost of the first 5 hours at $5.15 per hour, which totals to $25.75, and then the cost of the 6th hour at a reduced rate of $3.75. The final calculation gives a total rental cost of $29.50.
