Trying to make an array work with Push method

I'm trying to work with arrays and the push method. I want two different arrays that compute from a set of variables. When I am done I want an array for three restaurant bills and then an array with a restaurant bills with the tip added for each (20% tip for bills under $50, 15% for bill between $50 and $200, 10% tips for bill over $200). Here is what I have For some reason, when this runs, I only get one value on each array and it seems to be wrong Math, what am I doing wrong?

(NO!! THIS IS NOT MY HOMEWORK!!!! I have a autodidact Web developer who always SELF-ASSIGNS my OWN HOMEWORK) 

const grandTotal = [];

const tipTotal = [];



 const burgerKing = 48;

 const redRobin = 124;

 const bonefishGrill = 268;



if (burgerKing <= 50) {

    const burgerKingTip = burgerKing * 0.2
    tipTotal.push(burgerKingTip);
    grandTotal.push(burgerKingTip + burgerKing);

} else if (redRobin <= 201 || redRobin >= 50) {

    const redRobinTip = redRobin * 0.15;
    tipTotal.push(redRobinTip);
    grandTotal.push(redRobin + redRobinTip);

} else if (bonefishGrill <= 268) {

    const bonefishGrillTip = bonefishGrill * 0.1; 
    tipTotal.push(bonefishGrillTip);
    grandTotal.push(bonefishGrillTip + bonefishGrill);
}

console.log(tipTotal);

console.log(grandTotal);

Your first condition evaluates to true

if (burgerKing <= 50) {

so only the code for that condition is executing.
