EJH Cinemas, a movie theater next to your university, attracts two types of customers-those who are associated with the university (students, faculty, and staff) and locals who live in the surrounding area. There are 5,000 university customers interested in purchasing movie tickets from EJH Cinemas, with a maximum willingness to pay of $8 per ticket. There are 10,000 local customers interested in purchasing tickets, with a maximum willingness to pay of $10 per ticket.
