A percent is how many out of 100.

13/20 is how many out of 100?

You multiply the top and bottom by 5, as 5x20 is 100

13x5 is 65

Therefore, 65 out of every hundred cans, or 65%, are recycled

Answer: x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

$7776^{x+5}$ = $216^{3x-5}$

$6^{5(x+5)}$ = $6^{3(3x-5)}$

5(x+5)=3(3x-5)

5x+25=9x-15

25=4x-15

4x=40
