Let x be the missing test score.

Then our four test scores are 83, 82, 75, and x

We need to use this to find the average:

He would need a score of 116 on the final test to average 89, which he may be able to achieve with extra credit, I suppose.

If there is no extra credit, the highest average he could end up with would be:

which would be 85 (which should still be a grade of B)!

I hope this helps!
