Can somebody please help me with the following word problem please? I am quite lost and totally confused on where to start.

A survey of college students was conducted during final exam week to assess the number of cups of coffee consumes each day. The mean number of cups was 5 with a standard deviation of 1.5 cups. The distribution was normal.

A. What proportion of students drank 7 or more cups of coffee per day?

B. What proportion of students drank 2 or more cups of coffee per day?

C. What proportion of students drank between 2 and 7 cups of coffee per day?

D. How many cups of coffee would an individual at the 60th percentile rank drink?

E. What is the percentile rank for an individual who drinks 4 cups of coffee a day?

F. What is the percentile rank for an individual who drinks 7.5 cups of coffee a day?
