1. What is the total number of restaurant workers in McDonald’s franchises in Great Britain? 49,726 - 545 = 49181 ppl.
49,181 – 2,974 = 46,207 ppl.
46,207 is correct.
2. How many of the employees mentioned are of age 30 or older? 34,241 -10,607
= 23634 employees.
Wrong. What about the employees who are age 20 and younger??
3. How many of the employees were females? 49,726 – 27,546 = 22,180 females.
Right!
1. To find the total number of restaurant workers in McDonald's franchises in Great Britain, we need to subtract the number of office staff and management from the total number of employees. From the given data, we have:
Total employees: 49,726
Office staff: 545
Management: 2,974
So, the total number of restaurant workers would be:
49,726 - 545 - 2,974 = 46,207 people
Therefore, there are approximately 46,207 restaurant workers in McDonald's franchises in Great Britain.
2. The data provided does not directly mention the number of employees who are 30 years old or older. We can find the number of employees who are 30 years old or younger by subtracting the total number of employees between 21 and 29 years old from the total number of employees 20 years old and under. From the given data, we have:
Total employees 20 years old and under: 34,241
Total employees between 21 and 29 years old: 10,607
So, the number of employees who are 30 years old or older would be:
34,241 - 10,607 = 23,634 employees
Therefore, there are approximately 23,634 employees who are 30 years old or older.
3. To find the number of female employees, we subtract the number of male employees from the total number of employees. From the given data, we have:
Total male employees: 27,546
Total employees: 49,726
So, the number of female employees would be:
49,726 - 27,546 = 22,180 females
Therefore, there are approximately 22,180 female employees.
4. To determine approximately how many employees are in each McDonald's in Great Britain, we divide the total number of employees by the number of franchises. Unfortunately, the number of franchises is not given in the provided data. Without this information, we cannot give an accurate answer to this question.
5. The question asks to calculate the cost of a $125 bonus for each employee based on the answer from question 4, which we unfortunately couldn't answer due to lack of information. Therefore, we cannot calculate the cost for each franchise.
6. Similarly, since we don't have the number of employees for each franchise, we cannot calculate the total cost of the $125 bonus for all employees.
7. The number of employees per U.S. McDonald's restaurant is given as 45. We already know that there were approximately 14,000 McDonald's restaurants in the United States in 2002. To find the total number of employees, we can multiply the number of restaurants by the number of employees per restaurant:
14,000 (restaurants) * 45 (employees per restaurant) = 630,000 employees
Therefore, approximately 630,000 people would be employed by McDonald's in the United States.
8. The cost of health care per month for one employee is given as $400. To find the annual cost for health care, we multiply this by 12 (months):
$400 (monthly cost) * 12 (months) = $4,800
Therefore, the annual cost for health care for one employee is $4,800.
9. To approximate the cost to McDonald's of providing health care for all its workers, we need to multiply the annual cost per employee by the total number of employees in the United States. From the answer to question 7, we know that there are approximately 630,000 employees in the United States. Using the annual cost for health care, we can calculate the approximate cost to McDonald's:
$4,800 (annual cost per employee) * 630,000 (total number of employees) = $3,024,000,000
Therefore, the approximate cost to McDonald's of providing health care for all its workers would be $3,024,000,000.
