The percentile rank can be calculated using the formula: $\frac{Rank}{Total \: Number \: of \: Scores}$ x 100. For a rank of 36 in a class of 300, the percentile rank is $\frac{36}{300}$ x 100 = 12%. However, since this is the rank from the bottom, to find the rank from the top, you subtract this value from 100, resulting in 88%. Therefore, the correct answer is the 88th percentile.
