Let the percentage be x%.

Then

$\frac{x}{100}\text{ of \ 717.50 = \ 665.84}$

So to get the value of x

$\begin{gathered} \frac{x}{100}\times717.50=665.84 \\ \frac{717.50x}{100}=665.84 \\ 717.50x=\text{ 665.84 }\times100 \\ 717.50x=66584 \\ x=\frac{66584}{717.50} \\ x=92.8\text{ \%} \end{gathered}$

Thus, 92.8% of $717.50 is $665.84

Therefore to the nearest tens, the percent is 93%
