AI explanation

To find the percentage of outstanding students for each year, divide the total outstanding students by the total students and multiply by 100. For 2012, there are 35 + 24 + 29 = 88 outstanding students out of 613 total, giving a percentage of 14.35%. Calculating these percentages reveals the increasing percentage order is 2016 (13.88%) < 2017 (14.12%) < 2015 (14.17%) < 2014 (14.19%) < 2012 (14.35%) < 2013 (14.94%). The increasing order of outstanding students according to their percentage is 2016 < 2017 < 2015 < 2014 < 2012 < 2013.
