For 6.5 days, the cost includes $146 for the first day and $96 for each of the next 5.5 days. So, S(6.5) = $146 + 5.5*$96 = $146 + $528 = $674. However, since the question specifies a charge for each additional or partial day, the calculation should consider 6 full days after the first day, making it $146 + 6*$96 = $146 + $576 = $722.
