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.
