Destiny makes earrings and bracelets to sell. She makes a profit of $15 for

every pair of earrings she sells and a $12 profit for every bracelet she sells
The cost of making one pair of earrings is $4 and the cost of making one
bracelet is $6. She only has $36 she can spend this week to make her
merchandise. She knows she wants to make at least 8 pieces of
merchandise to sell this week. What is the maximum profit she can make
based on these constraints? (If you do not have access to graph paper to
complete this problem, you can use Desmos to graph the constraints.
Remember the steps, 1. Define Variables, 2. List Constraints, 3. Graph and
shade feasible region, 4. Plug in vertices to objective function to find
maximum profit) *
