To find:

The Number of people work for Hank’s Fried Chicken.

Solution:

We need to divide the total bonus by the bonus of each employee to get the number of people work for Hank’s Fried Chicken.

$\text{Number of people}=\dfrac{\text{Total amount of bonus}}{\text{Bonus received by each employee}}$

$\text{Number of people}=\dfrac{1692}{53}$

$\text{Number of people}=31.92453$

Number of people must be whole number. So, approx the value to the preceding whole number.

$\text{Number of people}\approx 31$

Therefore, 31 people work for Hank’s Fried Chicken.
