Awaste company estimates that 92% of the trash that is put into landfills could be recycled. if 8000 tons of trash is deposited into a landfill in one week, how much of that trash is non recyclable?

Recyclable percentage: 92%

Non-recyclable: 8%

Non-recyclable out of 8000 tons of trash: 0.08(8000 tons) = 640 tons (answer)

Remark

Very interesting if true. 92% is recyclable. That means that you cannot recycle 100% - 92% = 8%

Non_Recyclable = percentage * weekly trash haul

% = 8%

w = weekly trash haul = 8000 tons

non_recyclable = 8/100 * 8000 = 640 tons is not recyclable.
