the z-score is .90.
based on the following z-score table, you get the following.
https://www.math.arizona.edu/~rsims/ma464/standardnormaltable.pdf
area to the left of a z-score of .9 is equal to .81594
that's the proportion of scores that fall below that z-score.
the percentage would be 81.594%.
since 50% of the area under the normal distribution curve is below the mean, the percentage of scores between the mean and the z-score of.9 would be .81594 minus .5 = .31594.
the percentage of scores above that z-score would be 100% minus 81.594% = 18.406%.
visually, this looks like this:
