Z score for someone with 340 :
.

It is simply how many units of "20" the persion deviates from the mean "300". The person who scores 340 deviates two standard deviations of "20" from the mean.
Answer: 2.
If we have 310, the same logic applies:
260:
.
.
With Z-scores, it's how many standard deviations away from the mean you are.
.
Z-score 2.4:
Take the mean and add 2.4 times the standard deviation.
300+2.4*20 = 348.
.
For the two others:
300+1.5*20 = 330
300-4.5*20 = 210
.
Hope that helps. :)
