Aqueous hydrobromic acid (HBr) reacts with solid sodium

Aqueous hydrobromic acid (HBr) reacts with solid sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to produce aqueous sodium bromide (NaBr) and liquid water (H₂O). If 36.6 g of sodium bromide is produced from the reaction of 72.0 g of hydrobromic acid and 63.0 g of sodium hydroxide, calculate the percent yield of sodium bromide. Round your answer to 3 significant figures.
