Question
Dr. Gulakowicz is an orthodontist. She estimates that adding two new chairs will increase fixed costs by $150,000, including the annual equivalent cost of the capital investment and the salary of one more technician.

The two new chairs will allow Dr. Gulakowicz to expand her practice by as many as 215 patients annually. How many patients would have to be added for the new process to break even?
