Follow-up Question

I'm not following the logic for part B. I understand using the inverse Norm function results in 1.0364. I don't understand why you decide to do y - μσ, and the math of "y - μσ = 1.0364y - 133.7550.24 = 1.0364y = 185. 82" doesn't seem correct. How does "1.0364y - 133.7550.24 = 1.0364y" that math work? Because it looks like μσ implies multiplication, and 1.0364y - (133.75*50.24) is not equal to 1.0364y.
