It is so easy . . . 


Your major formula is presented in three lines.



(A)  Income of $5000  is between $3000 and $8000.

     So, to answer the question, use the second line of the formula.



(B)  Income of $55000 is greater than $8000 

     So, to answer the question, use the third line of the formula.

Happy calculations (!)
