Q1) Jeweller and her apprentice make silver pins and necklaces by hand. Every week they have 80 hours of labour and 36 ounces of silver available. It needs 8 hours of labour and 2 ounces of silver to make a pin, and 10 hours of labour and 6 ounces of silver to make a necklace. Every pin also comprises a small gem of some kind. Demand for pins is no more than six per week. Pin earns jeweller $400 in profit, and necklace earns $100. Jeweller desires to know how many of each item to make each week to maximize profit.
