Here are three versions that work: test1[m_?NumericQ] := Module[{ret}, If[m < 100, ret = 2 m]; If[100 <= m <= 200, ret = 200 + (m - 100)]; If[200 < m, ret = 300 + 0.5 (m - 200)]; N@ret ] test2[m_] = Piecewise[{{2 m, m < 100}, {200 + (m - 100), 100 <= m <= 200}, {300 + 0.5 (m - 200), 200 < m}}]; test3[m_] = Which[m < 100, 2 m, 100 <= m <= 200, 200 + (m - 100), 200 < m, 300 + 0.5 (m - 200), True, 0]; FindRoot[test1@m == 250, {m, 150, 0, 300}] FindRoot[test2@m == 250, {m, 150, 0, 300}] FindRoot[test3@m == 250, {m, 150, 0, 300}] {m -> 150.} {m -> 150.} {m -> 150.} The original style is a very bad habit.
