here in this compound we have
1 tertiary H
2 Secondary H
9 primary H
since the ratio of attack is tertiary : secondary : primary = 5 : 3.8 : 1
so the final ratio becomes
1 tertiary H = 5
2 Secondary H = 7.6
9 primary H = 9

so attack on primary carbon will yield the major product..and for the percentage u can do 9/21.6 * 100 = 41 %
