Answer: 2000

Explanation:

Percentage supporting home team = 65%

Percentage supporting visiting team = 35%

Number of people supporting home team = 1300

Let the total number of people attending the game be represented by x.

Therefore, 65% of x = 1300

65/100 × x = 1300

0.65 × x = 1300

0.65x = 1300

x = 1300 / 0.65

x = 2000

Therefore 2000 people attended the game.
