The moisture content of the natural soil as obtained from the oven drying method is 8 % and its unit weight in the natural state is 17.6 kN/m3. The laboratory test on the soil sample revealed that the void ratio in its loosest and densest state are respectively 0.76 and 0.45. If the specific gravity is assumed to be 2.65, then the relative density (in percentage, correct up to two decimal places) of the soil sample is ______. (Take g = 9.81 m/s2)
