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,
[tex]the\ fraction\ of\ members\ having\ previous\ work\ experience\ =\ \dfrac{2}{3}[/tex]
[tex]So,\ the\ number\ of\ members\ having\ previous\ work\ experience\ =\ \dfrac{2}{3}\times\ total\ number\ of\ members\ hired[/tex]
[tex]=\ \dfrac{2}{3}\times 27[/tex]
= 18
So, the number of new members hired having work experience = 18
