Chun wants to reduce the weight of garbage produced to 85% of the weight produced this month.
This means that, Chun's garbage weight next month should be equal to 85% of his garbage weight this month.

Translating this into an equation, we will find that:
garbage weight next month = 85% of garbage weight this month
garbage weight next month = 0.85 * garbage weight this month
garbage weight next month = 0.85*690
garbage weight next month = 586.5 pounds

Based on the above calculations, his target weight for the garbage next month is 586.5 pounds
