Now a third party offers to rent another dyeing machine $($exactly the same as the one Levy currently has$)$ to Levy at the price of $$18$ per minute. The rental term states that Levy can rent the machine for up to $15,000$ minutes a month $($Levy pays $$18$ times the number of minutes it uses the machine$).$

How many minutes per month should Levy rent the dyeing machine for from the third party?
