Last year in Northern Ireland wecollected 123,000 tonnes ofhousehold waste69,000 tonnes was sent to landfill19.000 tonnes was composted35,000 tonnes was recycledThere is a target for the UK to recycleat least 50% of household waste by2020.Recycled materials include those that have been composted.Is Northern Ireland within 10% of meeting the UK target for recycling?Round decimal answers to 2 decimal places//How do I work this out?

Answer:Step-by-step explanation:Given that:Northern Ireland house hold waste = 123,000 tonnes Recycled = 35,000 tonnesAs recycled materials also include  composted materia so:Composted = 19000 tonnesAs UK targets at least 50% Let us check the percentage of recycled waste of Northern Ireland house hold waste :%age = obtained / total * 100%age = 35,000 + 19,000 /123,00 *100%age = 54,000/123,000 * 100%age = 43.902By rounding off to 2 decimal places:target percentage = 43. 90% As UK's target is 50% so we can say that Northern Ireland is within 10% of meeting the UK target for recycling because:50% - 43.90% = 6.10% Its is within 10%i hope it will help you!
