Here, we are primarily interested in finding averages.
We are told that Tom's average grade is 90 and then the subjects with his grades are listed. Here is how we find his Math grade:
(English + History + Science + Spanish + Math) / 5 = 90
(84+ 91+ 89 + 95 + Math) /5 = 90
(359 + Math)/5 = 90
Cross multiplying gives us 359 + Math = 90*5
359 + Math = 450
Math = 450 - 359
Math = 91

(e+h+s+p+m) / 5 = 90
(84+91+89+95+m) /5 = 90
(84+91+89+95+m) = 450
(359 + m) = 450
m = 91
