    78.5%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Area of a 100ft radius circle = 628sqm

    Area of rectangle = 800sqm

    = 172sqm difference in size

    if 800 sqm = 100%

    Then 600 sqm = 3/4 = 75%

    60sqm = 3/40 = 7.5%

    6sq m = 3/400 = 0.75%

    2 sq m = 0.25%

    30sqm = 1/2 of 7.5% = 3.75

    3.75-0.25 = 3.50%

    3.50% + 75 = 78.5%
