Insulin math question

I have to complete a math calculation worksheet and there is a question about insulin on there and my teacher, or should I say the grad student who taught that lecture, didn't mention anything about how to do a problem like this.

Sliding Scale for Regular Insulin

Blood Sugar Regular Insulin

0-180 0 units

180-200 2 units

200-220 4 units

220-240 6 units

>240 Call physician

Doctor's order: AM dose: Humulin NPH 15 units and Humulin regular 5 units SC. The AM blood sugar is 230. How much total insulin should be given?

a. 20 units

b. 26 units

c. 24 units

d. 22 units

From guessing I think it's 26 units....I figured I had to use the 6 units, so added with the 5 regular and 15 NPH I got 26.
