A small publishing company is planning to publish a new book. The production costs will include one-time fixed costs (such as editing) and variable costs (such as printing). There are two production methods it could use. With one method, the one-time fixed costs will total $71,905 , and the variable costs will be $8.50 per book. With the other method, the one-time fixed costs will total $14,287 , and the variable costs will be $25 per book. For how many books produced will the costs from the two methods be the same?
