The government budgeted $1,440,000 to buy new helicopters. The cost of each helicopter is $120,000. How many new helicopters will the government be able to buy?
To find the number of helicopters the government will be able to buy, we divide the total budget by the cost of each helicopter:
Number of helicopters = Total budget / Cost per helicopter
Number of helicopters = $1,440,000 / $120,000
Number of helicopters = 12
Therefore, the government will be able to buy 12 new helicopters.
