Answer

200

Work Step by Step

We can rewrite this problem using only numbers and math symbols. "Of" means "multiply" and "is" means "equal". So first, lets rewrite the problem. 13 = 6.5% $\times$ x We can also write it so the percentage is a decimal. 13 = 0.065 $\times$ x To solve this, isolate the variable by doing $\frac{13}{0.065}$. That equals 200. So now x = 200.
