Solve the problem.The recycling process for aluminum cans is not perfectly efficient, and only a portion of the material of a particular can ends up in the next generation of cans. The "effective mass" of a can is its initial mass plus the cumulative mass of aluminum that it passes on to subsequent recycling generations. If the recycling process is 95% efficient, find the effective mass of a 13.7 gram can. Round to the nearest gram.
