never mind I figured it out
To answer these questions, we need to analyze the provided data and perform some calculations. Let's go through each question step by step:
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:
Total restaurant workers = Total employees - Office staff - Management
Total restaurant workers = 49,726 - 545 - 2,974
Total restaurant workers = 46,207
Therefore, the total number of restaurant workers in McDonald's franchises in Great Britain is 46,207.
2. To determine the number of employees aged 30 or older, we need to subtract the number of employees aged 29 and under from the total number of employees:
Total employees aged 30 or older = Total employees - Total employees 29 and under
Total employees aged 30 or older = 49,726 - (34,241 + 10,607)
Total employees aged 30 or older = 49,726 - 44,848
Total employees aged 30 or older = 4,878
So, there are 4,878 employees aged 30 or older.
3. To find the number of female employees, we need to subtract the number of male employees from the total number of employees:
Number of female employees = Total employees - Number of male employees
Number of female employees = 49,726 - 27,546
Number of female employees = 22,180
Therefore, there are 22,180 female employees.
4. To determine approximately how many employees are in each McDonald's franchise in Great Britain, we need to divide the total number of employees by the number of franchises:
Number of employees per franchise = Total employees / Number of franchises
Number of employees per franchise = 49,726 / 1,116
Number of employees per franchise ≈ 44.58
Approximately, each McDonald's franchise in Great Britain has about 44.58 employees.
5. To calculate the cost of giving each employee a $125 bonus for each franchise, we can multiply the number of employees per franchise from question 4 by $125:
Cost per franchise = Number of employees per franchise * $125
Cost per franchise = 44.58 * $125
Cost per franchise = $5,572.5
So, each franchise would need to spend approximately $5,572.5 for the $125 bonus.
6. To find the total cost of the $125 bonus for all employees, we can multiply the cost per franchise by the number of franchises:
Total cost of the $125 bonus = Cost per franchise * Number of franchises
Total cost of the $125 bonus = $5,572.5 * 1,116
Total cost of the $125 bonus ≈ $6,221,350
Therefore, the total cost of the $125 bonus for all employees would be approximately $6,221,350.
7. To estimate the number of people employed by McDonald's in the United States, we can divide the total number of U.S. McDonald's employees by the number of employees per restaurant:
Number of people employed in the U.S. = Total U.S. employees / Number of employees per restaurant
Number of people employed in the U.S. = 14,000 / 45
Number of people employed in the U.S. ≈ 311
Approximately, McDonald's employs around 311 people in the United States.
8. To calculate the annual cost for health care for one employee, we can multiply the monthly cost by 12:
Annual cost for health care = Monthly cost * 12
Annual cost for health care = $400 * 12
Annual cost for health care = $4,800
Therefore, the annual cost for health care for one employee would be $4,800.
9. To estimate the cost to McDonald's of providing health care for all its workers, we can multiply the annual cost per employee by the total number of employees:
Total cost of health care = Annual cost for health care * Total number of employees
Total cost of health care = $4,800 * 49,726
Total cost of health care ≈ $238,636,800
Thus, the approximate cost to McDonald's of providing health care for all its workers would be around $238,636,800.
