Answer 1

Rick's score is higher than 91% of the other students.

Given that on a placement examination, Rick scored lower than 1192 of the 12,790 students who took the exam, to find the percentile, rounded to the nearest percent, for Rick's score, the following calculation must be performed:

• 12790 - 1192 = 11598
• 12790 = 100
• 11598 = X
• 11598 x 100/12790 = X
• 1159800/12790 = X
• 90.68 = X

Therefore, Rick's score is higher than 91% of the other students.
