Atown's total allocation for police officers wages and benefit in a new budget os $800,000. if wages are calculated at $55,000 per officer and benefits at $25,000 per officer, write an equation where the solution is the number of officers the town can employee, if they spend their whole budget

The amount of money paid to each of the officer is the sum of the wage and the benefits. This amount is equal to $80,000. The number of officers (n) that can be hired by the town is the quotient of the total budget and the pay per employee.
                             n = ($800,000) / $80,000
                                n = 10
Thus, the number of employees is 10. 

Number of officers = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total allocation for police officers wages and benefits in new budget = $800000

It is given that

Wages calculated per officer = $55000

Benefits per officer  = $25000

So total amount that can be spent on one officer is = 55000+25000

                                                                                    = $80000

Therefore, Number of officers that the town can employee is given by

x = (800000 / 80000 )

   = 10

Thus 10 employees
