Answer:

75%

Explanation:

So first we know that Helena's team scored 68 points. So we want to see how many teams scored higher than 68. I circled the teams that scored higher than 68 points according to the chart. (Look at the image below) So if we count them, that is 12 teams that scored higher than Helena's. So I circled all the numbers that were higher than 68. Which means that we can see how many teams scored higher than Helena's. So basically Helena's team scored 68 points. So I circled every number higher than 68 to see how many teams scored higher than Helena's. Then, by counting all the circles we can know exactly how many teams scored higher So we know that 12 teams scored more than Helena's team. So what we are trying to find is the percent of teams that scored higher. This means that we have to find out what percent is the 12 teams, out of everything. This means that we have to find out what percent is the 12 teams, out of everything. So, the graph shows the scores for all the teams in the competition. So, to find out how many teams were in the competition we just have to count how many boxes there are. So by counting all the boxes, we can tell that there are 16 teams in total. And since 12/16=0.75, we can see that 75% of the teams scored higher than Helena's. Therefore our any is 75%.
