Hi
Distribution: normal with µ = 616 and σ = 13
Using TI or similarly an inexpensive calculator like an Casio fx-115 ES plus

The heaviest 15% of fruits weigh more than how many grams?

 OR 
invNOrm(.85) = 1.0364
(1.0364)*13 + 616 = 629.4732gm  
The heaviest 15% of fruits weigh more than  629.4732gm 
Wish You the Best in your Studies.
