What is the solution for A & B in the following linear equation?
Q. For the month of December a web site A had a audience of about 76.4 million and web site B had an audience of about 66.2 million. An advertising company wants to purchase website ads to promote a new product. Suppose that the monthly cost of an ad on A Website is $1200 and the monthly cost of an add on B website is $1100. How many months should an ad run on each website to maximize the number of people who would be exposed to it. Assume that, for future months, the monthly website audience remains the same as given for December. Also assume that the advertising budget is $35,000 and that it has been decided to advertise on Website B for at least 10 months.

A. To me it looks like your budget will cover ads at both websites for the full 12 months. That should give you maximum exposure. (1200 + 1100) * 12 = 2300 * 12 = $27600 Leaving you with some change! Not sure if I'm interpreting your question correctly though : ) If its not a yearly thing, do your 10 months at website B and spend the rest of the budget on website A as thats got to give you more exposure.
