Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  125

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion you want is ...

  $\dfrac{\text{part}}{\text{whole}}=\dfrac{65}{\text{?}}=\dfrac{52}{100}\\\\6500=52\cdot\text{?}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\\dfrac{6500}{52}=125=\text{?}\qquad\text{divide by 52}$

52% of 125 is 65.

Comment on the formulation

You can write the same proportion 4 ways. I find it convenient to choose one that has the unknown in the numerator. Here, that means you would write it ...

  whole/part = 100/52 = ?/65

Then the solution is one step: multiply by 65.

Answer 2

33.8

Step-by-step explanation:

33.8 is the closest to half of 65.
