y = 10,000 + 0 * x for x = 1 to 3
y = 10000 + 3000 * (x-3) for x > 3

y represents the total cost.
x represents the number of days.

the graph would look something like this.



the total cost is 10,000 for days 1 to 3.
it is 10,000 + 3000 * (x-3) for days > 3.
in the graph, day 6 is shown.
the total cost for day 6 is 10,000 + 3 * 3000 = 19,000.
