For orders of
1 to 5 cases charges: $60 per case
6 to 20 cases charges: $50 per case
20+ cases charges: $45 per case

For orders:
charges for 3 cases: 3 x 60 = $180
charges for 11 cases: 11 x 50 = $550
Charges for 30 cases: 30 x 45 = $1350
--------------------------------------------------
Total amount charged = 180 + 550 + 1350 = $2080

Option D should be the answer
