Tomatoes from a certain producer have masses which are normally distributed with mean 90 grams and standard deviation 17.7 grams. The tomatoes are sorted into three categories by mass, as follows:
Small: under 80 g; Medium: 80 g to 104 g; Large: over 104 g.

Find, correct to 2 decimal places, the percentage of tomatoes in each of the three categories. Use ϕ0.565=0.71226, ϕ0.79=0.78524
