    From the problem, we can say that it is a normal deviation so we should use the normal distribution curve.

    First, calculate the z-score of the intervals 405 and 455.

    SD = 25

    Mean = 455

    z-score = (x-mean) / SD

    z-score of 405 = (405-455) / 25 = - 2

    z-score of 455 = (455-455) / 35 = 0

    The z-score of 0, 0 is 0.5 and the z score of - 2, 0 is 0.0228.

    So to get the percentage, subtract 0.5 with 0.0228

    0.5 - 0.0228 = 0.4772

    Convert 0.4772 to percent

    = 47.72%

    Closest to 47.72 % is letter A.
