Answer:

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
