    Answer: $295

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Amount spent by the students is normal in shape

    Mean = $235

    Standard deviation = $20

    99.7% is within 3 standard deviations of the mean:

    = Mean + 3 * Standard deviation

    = $235 + 3 * $20

    = $235 + $60

    = $295

    The amount of $295 is spent by all the students on textbooks.
