Two hundred and seventy students wrote an exam in which 35 students got a mark higher than Paula and eight got the same mark as Paula, which is 83%. Her percentile rank in the class is ?
----------------------------------
270 - (35) = 235
-----
235 had a score lower than her score.
(235)/270 = 87.03%
Her score is at the 88%ile level
