Is this an exponential function? How does one solve this?

A small health club is trying to attract new membership. For a limited time, the normal annual fee of $300 per year will be reduced to $200. As an additional incentive, for each new member in excess of 60, the annual charge for each new member will be further reduced by $2. Determine the function p = f(n), where p equals the membership fee for new members and n equals the number of new members

Not exponential - but the function (of n) will be defined piecewise (0 ≤ n ≤ 60 and n > 60)
 
How much do each of the first 60 people pay to join?

What needs to be done in order to calculate what the 61st person pays?

After that? Look for a pattern.
