Answer:

16%

Step-by-step explanation:

The indicated probability is actually the area under the standard normal curve to the left of the mean.  I used the function normalcdf( on my TI-83 Plus calculator to find this quantity:

normalcdf(-1000,85,90,5) = 0.1587.

Note #1:  This quantity (area / probability) is the area to the left of 85.

Note #2:  by the Empirical Rule, 68% of data lies within 1 s. d. of the mean, so the area between the mean (90) and the score (85) is half of 68%, or 34%.  Subtracting this from 50% (the area to the left of the mean), we get 16%, which is roughly equivalent to the 0.1587 we got earlier.
