65% of cans are recycled.

ANSWER

The percentage of cans that are recycled is

\(65\%\)



EXPLANATION


The number number of cans that are recycled is
\(13\)

The total number of cans is
\(20\)

The percentage of cans that are recycled is

\(= \frac{number \: of \: cans \: recycled}{total \: number \: of \: cans} \times 100\%\)



\(= \frac{13}{20} \times 100\%\)


We simplify to obtain,

\(= \frac{13}{1} \times 5\%\)

This will give us,

\(= 65\%\)
