The Ride-It Store rents bicycles. The cost is as follows:
- $8.50 for 1 hour
- $13.64 for 2 hours
- $18.80 for 3 hours
- $23.95 for 4 hours

If the pattern continues, how much will it cost Nate to rent a bike for 6 hours?

1 h o u r : $8 , 50 2 h o u r : $13 , 64 $13 , 64 − $8 , 50 = $5 , 14 3 h o u r : $18 , 80 $18 , 80 − $13 , 64 = $5 , 16 4 h o u r : $23 , 95 $23 , 95 − $18 , 80 = $5 , 15 5 h o u r : $23 , 95 + $5 , 14 = $29 , 09 6 h o u r : $29 , 09 + $5 , 16 = $34 , 25

I am assuming your $13.64 is supposed to be $13.65. If that is the case. First hour is $8.50 and each additional hour is $5.15 more. Adding 2 hours is $10.30.
23.95+10.30=34.25
