Answer:

255.682%

Explanation:

From the above question:

The planet mercury makes its circuit around the sun in 88 days.

Venus takes 225 days to complete it's circuit.

Venus's travel time is what percent of Mercury's travel time?

This is calculated as:

(Number of days Mercury take to complete it's circuit/Number of days Venus takes to complete it's circuit) × 100

= 225/88 × 100

= 2.5568181818181817 × 100

= 255.68181818%

Approximately = 255.682%

Venus's travel time is 255.682 percent of Mercury's travel time
