$\text{Percentile Rank}=\left[\left(M+\left(0.5×R\right)\right)/Y\right]×100$
Where,
M = Number of Ranks below x
R = Number of Ranks equals x
Y = Total Number of Ranks
Total babies Y = 185
Percentile rank to be calculated for Sofia who is at 41st rank.
X=41
There 5 other babies who have similar measurements to Sofia.
R = 6
Count the ranks that are less than 41 which will be considered M.
M = 40
$\text{Percentile Rank}=\frac{M+\left(0.5\cdot R\right)}{Y}×100\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}\text{Percentile Rank}=\frac{40+\left(0.5\cdot 6\right)}{185}×100\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}\text{Percentile Rank}=23.24\mathrm{%}$
Sofia's percentile rank is 23.24 %
