-------------
If all tests count the same:
(5*77.6 + Test6)/6 = 83
388 + Test6 = 498
Test6 = 110
Good luck with that.
==================
PS "mean average" is redundant.
mean = average --> "average average"

If her mean was 77.6 on the first five tests, that says she scored
5(77.6) = 388 points so far.
To average 83 on all six tests, she would need
6(83) = 498 points total.
Thus she would need
498-388 = 110 points on the sixth test. (Hope there is extra credit!)
