Problem 12

For Exercises \(9-14,\) use the following information. The Future Homemakers Club is making canvas tote bags and leather tote bags for a fund-raiser. They will line both types of tote bags with canvas and use leather for the handles of both. For the canvas bags, they need 4 yards of canvas and 1 yard of leather. For the leather bags, they need 3 yards of leather and 2 yards of canvas. Their advisor purchased 56 yards of leather and 104 yards of canvas. If the club plans to sell the canvas bags at a profit of \(\$ 20\) each and the leather bags at a profit of \(\$ 35\) each, write a function for the total profit on the bags.
