Question

A large retali store hired 27 new members for the executive training program. Of this group, two-thirds had previous retail work experi ence. How many had previous retail work experience?

Answer 1

Number of members having previous work experience = 18

Explanation:

As given in question,

Total number of new members hired = 27

Since, two-thirds had previous retail work experience

So,

`the\ fraction\ of\ members\ having\ previous\ work\ experience\ =\ (2)/(3)`

`So,\ the\ number\ of\ members\ having\ previous\ work\ experience\ =\ (2)/(3)*\ total\ number\ of\ members\ hired`

`=\ (2)/(3)* 27`

= 18

So, the number of new members hired having work experience = 18
