Question

In the United States, 13 out of every 20 cans are recycled. What percent of cans are recycled?

Answer 1

We can just divide the two numbers.

13/20 = 0.65

Where 100% = 1

So 65%

Answer 2

To do this we have to see how many times 20 goes into 100. The answer is 5. So we have to times 13 by 5. The answer is 65%
