Students in an English class took a final exam. They took equivalent forms of the exam at monthly intervals thereafter. The average score S(t), in percent, after t months was found to be given by
S(t) = 68 − 20 log (t + 1), t ≥ 0.

You simply substitute the given value for t and compute. Nothing more to know. You could use the caclulator for the logarithm value.

Really, just do the substitution and go from there.
(a)

(b)
Now you use t=14.
