Find the z-score:  Note z-scores represent area to the left of z 
Note Normal Curve: µ = 0 and σ = 1
Using TI or similarly an inexpensive calculator like an Casio fx-115 ES plus
a. 5% in the tail on the left     invNorm(.05, 0, 1) = -1.645
b. 30% in the tail on the right   invNorm(.70, 0, 1) = .524
c. 65% in the body on the left    invNorm(.65, 0, 1) = .385
d. 80% in the body on the right   invNorm(.20, 0, 1) = - 0.842
