A cumulative frequency graph of 120120 scores passes through (40,0)(40, 0), (50,6)(50, 6), (60,18)(60, 18), (70,48)(70, 48), (80,84)(80, 84), (90,108)(90, 108), (100,120)(100, 120), straight between. The top 15%15\% of scores earn an A and the bottom 40%40\% earn a C or lower; the rest earn a B. Estimate the width of the B band (A cutoff minus C cutoff).
