Trader Dan's needs a capacity plan for their critical operations in the upcoming years. Compared to their current operations, Trader Dan's is expecting to increase their sales ten-fold in the near future. Currently they produce three products: pierogi, borscht and kielbasi. Each of these products uses a common machine at Workstation F in their production process. Below is a table of relevant information for each product.

Trader Dan's operates one 8-hour shift, 7 days a week, 50 weeks per year. Dan has determined a capacity cushion of 8% is sufficient. How many machines does Dan need to have to meet the company's processing needs?
