Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The limits on advertisements per week by media are given by the cost and exposure information in the table. The weekly advertising budget is $10,000, so the total cost of the ads should not exceed $10,000. Additionally, the exposure limits for each media should be taken into account. From the table, we can see that the maximum exposure for TV is 10, for newspaper is 7, and for radio is 20. Therefore, the proper set of inequalities would be:
T ≤ 10
N ≤ 7
R ≤ 20 
which is represented by choice A.
