A store chain has up to $20,000 to spend on television advertising for an upcoming sale. All ads will be placed with one television station, where a 30-second ad costs $1,000 on daytime TV and is viewed by 14,000 potential customers. Cost on prime time tv is $2,000 and is viewed by 24,000 potential customers. For late-night TV, the cost is $1500 and is viewed by 18,000 potential customers. The television station will not accept a total of more than 15 ads in all three time periods. How many ads should be placed in each time period in order to maximize the number of potential customers who will see the ads? How many customers will see the ads?
