65/100=x/120; 78
x/100=65/120; 54.17
x/100=65/120; 184.62
65/100=x/120; 184.62
The correct proportion to solve the problem is 65/100 = x/120.
To find the value of x, we can cross-multiply and solve for x.
Cross-multiplying gives us 100x = 65 * 120.
Dividing both sides by 100, we get x = (65 * 120)/100.
Simplifying the expression on the right side, we have x = (7800)/100.
Evaluating the division, x = 78.
Therefore, 65% of 120 is equal to 78.
So, the correct response is 78.
