Am I missing something?

I believe I have done everything right as I was ased and yet it still doesnt recognize my answers as correct. Have I done anything wrong? If so please point towards whatever I have done wrong because I simply do not understand what am I supposed to do here.

CodeChallenge.cs 
const int revenue = 125000;
string status = null;

if (revenue < 100000)
{
    status = "red";
}
else if (revenue < 150000)
{
    status = "yellow";
}
else
{
    status = "green";
}

I remember doing this challenge too, had to declare variables for each number and string to replace the magic numbers and magic strings.

const int high = 150000;
const int low = 100000;

const string upperClass = "green";
const string middleClass = "yellow";
const string lowerClass = "red";

Please enlighten me if you have better ideas of naming the variables, and I hope this helps. 😀
