Explanation / Answer

Part A)

Calculate W(30), W(40),W(47),W(50)

W(30) = 30*14 = 420 Since h<40

W(40) = 40*14 = 560 Since h=40

W(47) = 21*(47-40)+560=147+560=707 as h>40

W(50) = 21*(50-40)+560=210+560= 770 as h>40

Part 2

w= 14*h when 0<h<=38 and

21*(h-38)+ 532 when h >38

Part 3

w= 16*h when 0<h<=40 and

21*(h-40)+ 640 when h >38
