Emeloid Manufacturing Company processes direct materials up to the split-off point where two products (X and Y) are obtained and sold. The following information was collected for the month of November:

Direct materials processed: 10,200 gallons (10,200 gallons yield 9500 gallons of good product and

700 gallons of shrinkage)

Production: X 5300 gallons
Y 4200 gallons
Sales: X 5050 at $300 per gallon
Y 3950 at $80 per gallon

The cost of purchasing 10,200 gallons of direct materials and processing it up to the split-off point to yield a total of 9500 gallons of good products was $1,050,000. The beginning inventories totaled 35 gallons for X and 400 gallons for Y. Ending inventory amounts reflected 565 gallons of Product X and 1,515,000 gallons of Product Y. October costs per unit were the same as November. Using the physical-volume method, what is Product X's approximate gross-margin percentage? (Round all intermediary calculations two decimal places.)
