A step function consisting of four line segments is plotted in quadrant 1 of a coordinate plane.

The cost for shipping by the Boston Mailing Company is based on the amount that a customer spends. For customers spending under $50, the shipping rate is $10; for $50 to under $100, the shipping rate is $7; for $100 to under $140, the shipping rate is $4; for $140 and over the shipping rate is $2. What domain interval will have a shipping rate of $4?

The shipping rate is $4 for customers spending from $100 to under $140. Therefore, the correct domain interval that corresponds to this shipping rate is:

100 ≤ s < 140

This means that the amount spent can be $100, and it can go up to, but not including, $140.
