#81.25%#

Explanation:

To find the rate/percent in this situation, I usually use the formula #R=P/B#

(R is rate, P is percentage or the part, and B is the base number).

To solve this:

#R=65/80#

Just 65 divided by 80, times 100 to get the percent instead of decimals.

#65/80 = 0.8125 • 100 = 81.25#

#81.25# becomes #81.25%#
