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

Answer:

Number of members having previous work experience = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

As given in question,

Total number of new members hired = 27

Since, two-thirds had previous retail work experience

So,

$the\ fraction\ of\ members\ having\ previous\ work\ experience\ =\ \dfrac{2}{3}$

$So,\ the\ number\ of\ members\ having\ previous\ work\ experience\ =\ \dfrac{2}{3}\times\ total\ number\ of\ members\ hired$

                                              $=\ \dfrac{2}{3}\times 27$

                                                = 18

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