The mean score of 65 students is 65. Find the sum of the scores of the students.

To find the sum of the scores of 65 students, we use the formula for the mean:

\[
\text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Sum of Scores}}{\text{Number of Students}}
\]

In this case:
- Mean = 65
- Number of students = 65

So, substituting into the formula:

\[
65 = \frac{\text{Sum of Scores}}{65}
\]

Multiplying both sides by 65:

\[
\text{Sum of Scores} = 65 \times 65 = 4225
\]

Thus, the sum of the scores of the students is **4225**.
