use the structure: IF -ELSEIF -ELSE -END

This sounds like a homework assignment. If it is, show us the code you've written to try to solve the problem and ask a specific question about where you're having difficulty and we may be able to provide some guidance.

If you aren't sure where to start because you're not familiar with how to write MATLAB code, I suggest you start with the MATLAB Onramp tutorial (https://www.mathworks.com/support/learn-with-matlab-tutorials.html) to quickly learn the essentials of MATLAB.

If you aren't sure where to start because you're not familiar with the mathematics you'll need to solve the problem, I recommend asking your professor and/or teaching assistant for help.

We can simulate the whole scenario.

At first we must take the input for the name of the customer,his address,his amount of purchase and the type of purchase.

We can use nested if-else statements in MATLAB to calculate the appropriate discount for a specied amount of purchase within a particular range.

Code snippet:

prompt = "Enter the name of the customer ";
name = input(prompt,"s")
prompt = "Enter the address of the customer ";
address = input(prompt,"s")
prompt = "Enter the amount purchased by the customer";
amount = input(prompt)
prompt = "Enter the type of the purchase by the customer?For laptop,type L and for desktop type D ";
type = input(prompt,"s")
if(type=='L')
    if(amount>=0 && amount<=250)
    end
        discount=(amount*0)/100;
        amount=amount-discount;
    if(amount>=251 && amount<=570)
         discount=(amount*5)/100;
         amount=amount-discount;
    end
       
    if(amount>=571 && amount<=1000)
         discount=(amount*7.5)/100;
         amount=amount-discount;
    end 
    if(amount>1000)
        discount=(amount*10)/100;
        amount=amount-discount;
    end
    disp(amount);
end
if(type=='D')
    if(amount>=0 && amount<=250)
    end
        discount=(amount*5)/100;
        amount=amount-discount;
    if(amount>=251 && amount<=570)
         discount=(amount*7.6)/100;
         amount=amount-discount;
    end
       
    if(amount>=571 && amount<=1000)
         discount=(amount*10.0)/100;
         amount=amount-discount;
    end 
    if(amount>1000)
        discount=(amount*15)/100;
        amount=amount-discount;
    end
    disp(amount);
end
