Answer 2

Answer:

95%

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the balancing method to do this.. first what is the total below 90?

The total is 10% because 90-80 which was the only percentage below 90 is 10%. Then, what is the total above 90?

The total is 5% because the only percentage above 90 is 95 and 95-90 is 5%

Now we use the balancing method to get from 5-10.

Using the balancing method we get 95%
