A town 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. How many firefighters can the town employ if they spend their whole budget?

Number of firefighters= 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Total budget= $600,000

Wage per firefighter= $40,000

Benefits per firefighter= $20,000

To calculate the number of firefighters that the town can employ, we need to use the following formula:

Number of firefighters= total budget / total cost per firefighter

Number of firefighters= 600,000 / (40,000 + 20,000)

Number of firefighters= 10

answer: integers are just whole numbers: positive, negative, and zero.

i = {-∞, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ∞}

let x = 1st integer

let y = 2nd integer

x = 3y + 17   {equation 1}

xy = -24         {equation 2}

substitute 3y+17 in place of x n equation 2

and solve for y.

(3y+17)y = -24

3y2 + 17y = -24

3y2 + 17y + 24 = 0

from quadratic equation:

y = [-17±√(172-4(3)(24))]/(2(3))

y = (-17 ±√1)/6

y = (-17+1)/6   or     y = (-17-1)/6

y = -16/6           or     y = -18/6

y = -2 2/3         or   y = -3

since we are dealing with

y = -3

x = 3y+17 = -9+17 = 8

the integers are -3, 8
