Answer 2

Thus, Required percentage of cans which are recycled = 65%

Explanation:

Total cans which are available for recycling = 20

Also, 13 out of them are recycled

So, Number of cans which are recycled = 13

We need to find the percentage of the cans which are being recycled

`\text{Required percentage of cans which are recycled = }(13)/(20)* 100`

Thus, Required percentage of cans which are recycled = 65%
