A lady sells necklaces and bracelets at a state fair. She uses 120 pearls to make one necklace and 15 pearls to make one bracelet. On the night before the last day of the fair, she has less than 200 pearls left. She decided to use these to make one necklace and some bracelets. What is the greatest number of bracelets she can make?
