Find table in the back of your statistics text labeled something like "areas under normal distribution" to find the Z score related to that proportion (.01).
Z = 2.33 (approx. for .01)
Z = (score-mean)/SD
2.33 = (score-75)/8
Multiply both sides by 8
18.64 = score - 75
ADD 75 to both sides.
93.64 = score
