\text{Un-bowl-ievably Expensive}

===

There are some people who watch the Super Bowl for the game and there are others who watch it for the commercials. Every year companies try to outdo one another for the most memorable ad.

This year, Fox charged advertisers $\$5$ million for a $30$ -second Super Bowl commercial. Last year, there were $62$ paid advertisements, of which $45$ were $30$ -second commercials and $17$ were $60$ -second commercials. If there is the same number of commercials this year, and $60$ -second commercials cost twice as much as $30$ -second commercials, about how much is Fox charging the advertisers, per viewer, if there are $100$ million viewers?
