Since the person has to pay $150 no matter what, this is the fixed cost. Also, since the cost for each day is $100, this is the variable cost. So the equation would follow the form
S(x)=Variable Cost * x + Fixed Cost
So in this case the equation is
Now plug in to evaluate S(5.5)
Round 5.5 to 6 (remember, it's $100 per day or partial day)
Multiply
Add
So this means that when x=5.5 the cost is $750
