standard_description: Graph proportional relationships, interpreting the unit rate as the slope of the graph. Compare two different proportional relationships represented in different ways. For example, compare a distance-time graph to a distance-time equation to determine which of two moving objects has greater speed.
problem_activity: Task
A town's total allocation for firefighter's 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.
