Random variable $X sim mathcal N(m,m^2)$ question

A random variable $X sim mathcal N(m,m^2)$ in a population, with $m in Bbb R^+$. In what percentage of the population, the variable has a positive value?.
I don't know how to start this problem, i thought it depends of the value of $m$, but apparently not.
Any hints? I never worked with a normal distribution with $mu=sigma$

They are asking about $P(X > 0).$ If you have never work with $mu = sigma,$ then assume $X sim mathrm{Norm}(mu, sigma^2)$ with $mu > 0$ and find $P(X > 0)$ (using a table) then substitute $mu = sigma = m.$
