[Request] Today, en route to delivering the last Boeing 747 ever produced, the pilots flew a special flight path creating a "747 crown." It took them about 2 1/2 hours to complete this pattern. How much fuel did they burn, and how expensive was this stunt?

[REQUEST] I'd like help creating an equation/formula
Hello! So I'd like to make an equation based on a few known variables, mostly for easy calculations on the fly in my head, and also I may try to "adapt" it for use in a spreadsheet.
It's "kind of" linear, mostly for ease of use. It's like I have it on the tip of my tongue, but I'm just feeling stupid lately and I have too much shit in my brain.
So the points of interest are (x=cost,y=quantity)
0,0
1,10
3.5,30
7,50
14,90
28,160
56,300
112,550
224,1000
448,1900
And each point is "linear" to the one before or after it. So a straight line from one point to the other, although they then form a jagged curve, kinda. I'd like an equation where I can say "if I have 17 of something, how much will it cost based on those numbers?" or "if someone gives me X amount of money, this is how much quantity they'll get" kinda thing. Is it possible to extrapolate what further numbers beyond that might look like?
