Having trouble with a program

enigmaterror (15)
Hello there again, I'm having a slight problem I'm trying to create a program that calculates Moped rentals by hours and what type of day.For example a moped rental on a weekday, for the first three hours is $15.00. After every hour after the third hour the price increases by $2.50. This is the part I'm having trouble with, increasing the price after the third hour. This is my code so far

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout << "****** Welcome to my Moped Rental Shop ******\n\n";

    int vehicleClass;
    int day;
    double hours;
    double total;
    double price;

    cout << "Which type of moped (1 -- 50cc Mopette, 2 -- 250cc Mohawk)?";
    cin >> vehicleClass;

    cout << "What day (1 -- weekday, 2 -- weekend)?";
    cin >> day;

    cout << "How many hours (enter a double)?";
    cin >> hours;

    switch (vehicleClass)
    {
        case 1:
            cout << "50cc Moppette, ";
            if (hours <= 3 && day == 1)
                price = 15.00;
            else if (hours <= 3 && day == 2)
                price = 25.00;
            break;
        case 2:
            cout << "250cc Mohawk, ";
            if (hours <= 3 && day == 1)
                price = 25.00;
            else if (hours <= 3 && day == 2)
                price = 35.00;
            break;
        default:
                cout << "Unknown vehicle class";
    }

    switch (day)
    {
        case 1:
            cout << "weekday, ";
            break;
        case 2:
            cout << "weekend, ";
            break;
        default:
            cout << "Unknown day";
    }

    cout << hours << " hours" << endl;

    //magic formula
    cout.setf(ios::fixed);
    cout.setf(ios::showpoint);
    cout.precision(2);

    cout << "==> Your rental charge would be $" << price << endl;
    cout << "****** Thank you for shopping with us! ******" << endl;
  system("pause");
  return 0;
}

I am able to make the program output $15.00 for the first three hours but stuck if any other number were inputted greater than 3.0. Thank you any help would be appreciated.
