Let m be the mean and s be the standard deviation and find the z score. 

z = (x - m) /s = (0.8 s + m - m) / s = 0.8 

The percentage of student who scored above Jane is (from table of normal distribution). 

1 - 0.7881 = 0.2119 = 21.19% 

The number of student who scored above Jane is (from table of normal distribution). 

21.19% 0f 500 = 106
