so I'm trying to figure out what percentage I am in my graduating class this year - the advisors don't to placements/percentages so I have to figure it out on my own. There approx 7,900 students at my school, and only 25 of us have a GPA of 3.9 or above (me being one of the 25) Now, don't make fun of me for not knowing this! Math was definitely not my strong point in this college journey!

Actually, there are 6,539 students. I had my numbers wrong.

is the number of people below you, approximately.
$$\frac{6539-25}{6539}$$
Would be the percentage of people below you.
