A jeweler and her apprentice make silver pins as well as necklaces by hand. Each week they've 80 hours of labor and 36 ounces of silver available. It needs 8 hours of labor and 2 ounces of silver to make the pin, and 10 hours of labor and 6 ounces of silver to make necklace.  Each pin also contains the small gem of some kind. The demand for pins is no more than 6 per week.  A pin earns the jeweler $400 in profit, and necklace earns $100.  The jeweler wants to know how many of each item to make each and every week to maximize profit.
