    Let's say the prices are in D2 and down.

    In another cell in row 2, enter the formula

     

    =D2*LOOKUP(D2,{0,10.01,100.01},{2,1.6,1.7})

     

    Fill down.

    Alternatively, use a small lookup table:

    Here, the formula in E2 is

    =D2*VLOOKUP(D2,$H$2:$I$4,2)

    The advantage of this approach is that if you change the thresholds or the multipliers, you need to do it only in the lookup table, instead of in the formulas.
