For every increase of $3^\circ\mathrm{C}$, one more cup of hot chocolate will be sold;
For every decrease of $3^\circ\mathrm{C}$, one more cup of hot chocolate will be sold;
For every increase of $1^\circ\mathrm{C}$, 3 more cups of hot chocolate will be sold;
For every decrease of $1^\circ\mathrm{C}$, 3 more cups of hot chocolate will be sold;
