It is unclear if the 3.5%, 25% and 50% are of the 15000 families of those who read
3.5% of those who read A , 25% of those who read B and 50% of those who read both
280+500+100=880 who read ads if the second choice
525+7500+3750=11775 if the first.
if 1000 read both then at most 11000 read just one.
