if and else statements

[josh_javascript]

Anyone have any advice on how to create the following program in JavaScript using if and else statements:

A copy center charges 5 cents per copy for the first 100 copies and 3 cents per copy for each additional copy.

Basically a prompt box would request the number of copies and then it would be calculated. For instance, 125 copies would come out to 5.75.

Sounds like homework - is it?

you want help/advice on if else id try

if (value =< '100) {
document.write("$"(value * 5));
} else {
document.write("$"((value - 100) * 3) + 500);
}

try modding that or something

Sorry, I should have been more specific regarding what it was I was looking for help with. Basically, I understand the concept of if and else statements. The part I couldn't figure out is how to write the script so that the first 100 copies go for 5 cents per copy and then anything beyond that is 3 cents per copy.

The best I could get it was so that anything <= to 100 was five cents per copy or anything >= to 101 was three cents per copy. I simply couldn't figure out how to make it so that anything beyond 100 copies is 3 cents per copy, instead of the entire amount being 3 cents per copy. Not sure if that makes any sense or not. I'll be more specific next time.

take you original script and replace these if else statements to your script see if that works, if it doesnt post your script as you have it on here
