Since the founding of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the passage of equal-pay laws, the gulf between men's and women's earnings has continued to close gradually. At the beginning of 1990 ( $t=0$ ), women's wages were $68 \%$ of men's wages, and by the beginning of 2000 ( $t=10$ ), women's wages were projected to be $80 \%$ of men's wages. If this gap between women's and men's wages continued to narrow linearly, then women's wages were what percentage of men's wages at the beginning of $2008 ?$
