10 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST!!

A government agency can spend at most $125,000 on a training program. If the training program has a fixed cost of $45,000 plus a cost of $125 per employee, how many employees can be trained?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the problem statement, we can setup the following equation:

$125,000 = 45,000 + 125E$

where $E$ is the number of employees being trained.

Solving for $E$ will give us the answer:

$125,000 = 45,000 + 125E$

$80,000 = 125E$

$E = 640$

Answer 2

$\text{Hello there!}\\\\\text{The most that they can spend is \ 125,000}\\\\\text{We know that the fixed cost of the program is \ 45000}\\\\\text{They also need to pay \ 125 for each employee}\\\\\text{We need to solve:}\\\\125000-45000=80000\\\\\text{Now divide 80,000 by 125 to see how many employees they can train}\\\\80000\div125=640\\\\\boxed{\text{They can train 640 employees}}$
