To find out how many problems Hunter got wrong on his math final, we first need to determine how many problems he answered correctly.
Since Hunter earned a grade of 66%, we can calculate the number of correct answers by using the formula:
\[
\text{Correct answers} = \text{Total problems} \times \frac{\text{Percentage}}{100}
\]
Substituting the given values:
\[
\text{Correct answers} = 200 \times \frac{66}{100} = 200 \times 0.66 = 132
\]
Now that we know Hunter got 132 problems correct, we can find out how many problems he got wrong by subtracting the correct answers from the total number of problems:
\[
\text{Wrong answers} = \text{Total problems} - \text{Correct answers}
\]
Substituting in the known values:
\[
\text{Wrong answers} = 200 - 132 = 68
\]
Thus, Hunter got \( \boxed{68} \) problems wrong on his final exam.
