2.

2. Solution Steps

Let the missing number be $x$.

We can write the equation as:

$8\% \times x = 5.2$

Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100:

$8\% = \frac{8}{100} = 0.08$

So the equation becomes:

$0.08 \times x = 5.2$

To find $x$, divide both sides of the equation by 0.08:

$x = \frac{5.2}{0.08}$

$x = \frac{520}{8}$

$x = 65$

3. Final Answer

65
