The table shows the fraction of the area from the mean to mean+the number of sigma shown. A z-score of +1, (1σ above the mean) means you are above the 50 % below the mean and 34.134 % above the mean, so there are 15.866 % above you. In your problem, the data is below the mean, so you need to use the symmetry of the normal distribution.
