Solution

The answer is 68. This is because, in a normal distribution, approximately 68% of values fall within one standard deviation of the mean. In this case, the mean is 100 and the standard deviation is 15, so scores between 85 (100 - 15) and 115 (100 + 15) represent one standard deviation from the mean.
