Miles has a monthly beer budget and only drinks beer at Cold Garden or Ol' Beautiful. His monthly budget for these two beers is described by the equation 5G + 25B = 300, where G is bottles of Cold Garden IPA and B is bottles of Ol' Beautiful IPA. Miles considers 2 bottles of Cold Garden IPA to be perfect substitutes for 6 bottles of Ol' Beautiful IPA.

The only two brewers in a small town compete in the following game. First, Alacrity Ales brews, which decides the quantity of beer that Alacrity will be able to sell. Brown Beer knows how much Alacrity brewed and then brews their batch, determining how much beer Brown will be able to sell. Costs are C_A = q_A^2 and C_B = q_B^2 while the demand for locally brewed beer is D = 16 - P. If Alacrity brews q_A = 4, what quantity maximizes B's profit?
