You count the full cases first,multiply by case price, then add the value associated with the remainder.

Having a hard time wrapping my head around this one. Any help would be appreciated.

Let's say we have bottles of perfume for sale. For shipping, we can fit 12 bottles into a box. Each box is sent separately via a courrier. The courrier charges x amount for each box plus weight. To make a long story shorter, in this scenario, we have different charges for quantities of bottles within a box. So, for a specific zone, we charge like so...

Quantity        Price
1       $14.50
2       $15.50
3       $16.50
4       $18.50
5       $18.75
6       $19.00
7       $20.00
8       $21.00
9       $22.00
10      $23.00
11      $25.00
12      $26.00

Now the problem is the thirteenth bottle. We need to charge 26.00 + 14.50.
14th bottle would be 26.00 + 15.50.
15th bottle would be 26.00 + 16.50, etc.
And to continue following this format...
24 bottles would be 26.00 + 26.00
25 bottles would be 26.00 + 26.00 + 14.50
26 bottles would be 26.00 + 26.00 + 15.50
27 bottles would be 26.00 + 26.00 + 16.50, etc.

There is a formula in there somehow, but I am having a devil of a time trying to figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
