I have most questions answered and only have a few I can't figure out.

IM.82 A distributor of industrial equipment purchases specialized compressors for use in air conditioners. The regular price is $50, however, the manufacturer of this compressor offers quantity discounts per the following discount schedule:

Option Plan Quantity Discount

A 1 - 399 0%

B 400 - 999 0.50%

C 1,000+ 1.00%

The distributor pays $80 each time it places an order with the manufacturer.
