Answer:

The answer is 65/100 = x/200. Here’s one way to solve this problem.

Rewrite sixty-five percent as the ratio sixty-five over one hundred.

Then, let x represent the unknown part, and write the ratio of x to the total amount, two hundred.

Set the two ratios equal to form the proportion sixty-five is to one hundred as x is to two hundred.
