Each senior's willingness to pay for Leticia's product is $10. Each non-senior's willingness to pay is $25. Each will buy at most one unit of Leticia's product. Leticia's marginal cost is constant at $5 and there are no fixed costs. If the profit maximizing Leticia could only charge one price, she would charge _ .
