Answer: 52 ml was withdrawn from the bottle

Step-by-step explanation: 80ml was the total quantity that is its 100% of the solution

65% was withdrawn so let's keep the quantity as x

100% = 80ml

65% = x

# x × 100% - 80 × 65

x = 80 × 65 ÷ 100

x = 52 ml

~ 52 ml of the total quantity was withdrawn
