IM.82 A distributor of industrial equipment purchases specialized compressors for use in air conditioners. The regular price is $60, however, the manufacturer of this compressor offers quantity discounts per the following discount schedule:

Option Plan	Quantity	Discount
A	1 - 399	0%
B	400 - 1,199	0.25%
C	1,200+	1.25%
