Calculating Rate of Shipping Company program

xcleonardo (5)

The Fast Freight Shipping Company charges the following rates:
Weight of Package (in Kilograms) Rate per 500 Miles Shipped
2 Kg or less $1.10
Over 2 Kg but not more than 6 Kg $2.20
Over 6 Kg but not more than 10 Kg $3.70
Over 10 Kg but not more than 20 Kg $4.80


make sure the user entered a correct weight
make sure the user entered a correct distance

This is what I have. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong or how to
fix it. Please help.

I have no idea what you are doing wrong either, excluding your original statement on that subject of course. :)
