Changing costs into budgets.

Each investigator at a human rights agency is required to complete 144 investigations of discriminations a year, while senior investigators are required to complete 180 a year. If the agency wanted to increase the completion of investigations yearly to 5,000 investigations, how many investigators would be needed? Create a budget that would permit the agency this increase.
