Her marks on four of these tests are 68, 81, 74 and 89.
Work out her mark on the fifth test.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 88.

Step-by-step explanation:

68+81+74+89+x/5=80

312+x/5=80

312+x=80*5

312+x=400

x=400-312

x=88

Answer 2

Answer:

88

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is the total sum of all the marks divided by how many there are.

68+81+74+89=312 Total of 4 tests

80×5 = 400 Total marks on 5 tests

400-312 = 88 Total marks on 5 tests - Total marks on 4 tests = 1 test

68+81+74+89+88 = 400
