Question 1073827: If Americans generated 220 million tons of waste during a single year if they recycled 29% of all paper discarded that year how much paper was recycled and paper is 39% of the solid waste Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If paper is 39% of the solid waste, then there was .39 x 220, or 85.8 million tons of paper waste. If 29% is recycled, then that would make .29 x 85.8, or 24.882 million tons of paper recycled that year. ☺☺☺☺
