To find the 60th percentile, first, the data must be sorted in ascending order. Then, calculate the position using the formula: P = (N+1) * (percentile / 100), where N is the number of data points. For the 60th percentile, P = (25+1) * (60 / 100) = 15.6. This means the 60th percentile is between the 15th and 16th values in the sorted list. Interpolating between these two values gives the 60th percentile value. After sorting, the 15th and 16th values are 204 and 209. Interpolating gives (204 + 209) / 2 = 206.5.
