56, 57, 57, 57, 57, 57, 57, 58, 59, 59, 59, 60, 60, 61, 61, 61, 61, 61, 61, 62, 62, 62, 63, 63, 63, 64, 64, 64, 65, 66

Then we look at the subset of values smaller than 62. Those values are: 56, 57, 57, 57, 57, 57, 57, 58, 59, 59, 59, 60, 60, 61, 61, 61, 61, 61, 61

There are 19 values that are smaller than 62 out of 30 values total.

19/30 = 0.6333 = 63.33% approximately. Round this value however your teacher instructs.
