4F+2P = 6000$
Also, F = 2P
10P = 6000
P = 600
Then F = 1200
C is the answer.

This is a simple equations problem
Let each part time employee receive a raise of $y
Then each full time employee receives a raise of $2y
There are 4 full- time employees and 2 part- time employees
The total budget is $6000
So, the equation is
4(2y) + 2y = 6000
10y = 6000
y = 600
Raise for each full-time employee = 2y = $1200
Let each part time employee receive a raise of $y
Then each full time employee receives a raise of $2y
There are 4 full- time employees and 2 part- time employees
The total budget is $6000
So, the equation is
4(2y) + 2y = 6000
10y = 6000
y = 600
Raise for each full-time employee = 2y = $1200
