The range this is computed against
The cutoff opens roughly a quarter of hands: all pairs and suited aces, suited kings down to K5s, every suited connector and one-gapper, and offsuit broadways down to A8o / KTo / QJo / JTo. Two players behind instead of five is worth more than ten percentage points of width.
CO open — 366 combos, 27.6% of all starting hands: AA, KK, QQ, JJ, TT, 99, 88, 77, 66, 55, 44, 33, 22, AKs, AQs, AJs, ATs, A9s, A8s, A7s, A6s, A5s, A4s, A3s, A2s, KQs, KJs, KTs, K9s, K8s, K7s, K6s, K5s, QJs, QTs, Q9s, Q8s, JTs, J9s, J8s, T9s, T8s, T7s, 98s, 97s, 87s, 86s, 76s, 75s, 65s, 64s, 54s, AKo, AQo, AJo, ATo, A9o, A8o, KQo, KJo, KTo, QJo, JTo

Against a cutoff opening range (366 combos, 27.6% of all hands), 76s runs at 38.7%. It wins 37.4% of runouts outright, loses 60.0% and splits the remaining 2.6%. Your own two cards remove 18 of those combos before the flop is even dealt — a blocker effect this number already accounts for, because every combo containing one of your exact cards is stripped out of the range first. You are ahead of only 31 of the 348 combos still live (9%) — the rest of the range is level with or in front of you, which is why the figure sits below even money.
Where does the range come from? The cutoff opens roughly a quarter of hands: all pairs and suited aces, suited kings down to K5s, every suited connector and one-gapper, and offsuit broadways down to A8o / KTo / QJo / JTo. Two players behind instead of five is worth more than ten percentage points of width. Broken down hand by hand, 76s does worst against 77 (18.3%), 88 (18.5%) and 99 (19.8%) and best against 64s (64.9%), 65s (64.4%) and 54s (62.0%). Across the whole range 76s's equity swings from 18.3% at the bottom to 64.9% at the top — the single 38.7% headline is the combo-weighted average of all of it.
Facing a cutoff opening range, 38.7% is a raise-or-fold number, not a call-and-see number: 76s is behind the range, so it needs position, implied odds or fold equity rather than showdown value. Against 27.6% of hands, you are priced in against a pot-sized bet (which needs about 33%).

What hands are in a cutoff opening range?
63 hand classes and 366 combos — 27.6% of the 1,326 possible starting hands. By combo count it is 21% pocket pairs (13 pairs, 78 combos), 43% suited hands (39 classes, 156 combos) and 36% offsuit hands (11 classes, 132 combos). That shape is why 76s runs at 38.7% against it rather than against a random hand.
Does 76s do better against a wider or a tighter range?
Wider, almost always. 76s has 40.4% equity against a loose-passive calling range (50.5% of hands) but 33.6% against a 4-betting range (3.2%). Equity against a range is mostly a question of how many weak hands the range still contains — which is why the same holding can be a monster against a button open and a fold against a 4-bet.
