A town's total allocation for firefighters’ wages and benefits in a new budget is $600,000. If wages are calculated at $40,000 per firefighter and benefits at $20,000 per firefighter, write an equation whose solution is the number of firefighters the town can employ if they spend their whole budget. Solve the equation

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

budget (b) = 600,000

cost per firefighter (c) = 40,000+20,000 = 60,000

total amount of firefighters (t) = b/c

t = 600,000/60,000 = 10

______________________________

N = Number

B = Budget

BPP = Budget Per Person

N = B ÷ BPP

= $600,000 ÷ $60,000

= 10 Firefighters
