A vertical number line labeled the Number of Laps Run ranges from 6 to 62 in increments of 2, with numbers marked in increments of 4. A box plot to the right of the number line shows the following: the minimum value is 6; the maximum value is 62; the lower quartile is 13; the median value is 28, and the upper quartile is 43.5.

The box plot represents the number of laps a group of 6th graders were able to run. Approximately what percentage of 6th graders ran fewer than 28 laps?
