A coffee shop pays Coffee Delivery Company A, a certain price for each disposable cup it orders plus a weekly delivery charge to remain on the driver’s delivery route. The cups are purchased in increments of 500. To quickly determine how much the coffee shop will be spending on cups before their arrival, the owner created the following table:

Cups Ordered Price
0 $7
500 $25.50
1,000 $44
1,500 $62.50
2,000 $81
2,500 $99.50
3,000 $118
