38, or 3/4 of the states must approve of the amendment before it can me added to the Constitution. This process does not have to happen simultaneously. It's typically for the process to take several months or even years. As soon as the criteria is reached, the amendment passes. Four amendments, some as far back as 1789 are still technically pending approval.

65% is not 3/4! With 48 states that is 36 states back in 1913 when the 17 Amendment was ratified and it appears that the numbers were not properly met.
And the number is 38 states at today's count of 50 states.
