A manager has $6,000 budgeted for raises for 4 full-time and 2 part-time employees. Each of the full-time employees receives the same raise, which is twice the raise that each of the part-time employees receives. What is the amount of the raise that each full-time employee receives?

(A) $750
(B) $1,000
(C) $1,200
(D) $1,500
(E) $1,650
 
We can let the total raise for the part-time employees = 2p and the total raise for the full time employees = 8p. Now, we can create the equation:

2p + 8p = 6,000

10p = 6,000

p = 600

So, each full time employee receives a raise of 2 x 600 = 1,200 dollars.
