let a,b,c represent the first three exams ishaan took
so, a+b+c/3=85
a+b+c=255...
let d represent the next exam ishaan will take,so that
255+d/4 =88
255+d=88(4)
255+d=352
d=352-255=97
Ishaan needs a score of 97 in his next exam to get an average of 88 after taking four exams.

Average grade = ( total of the grades ) / ( total number of tests )
Total number of tests =
Let = his grade on the 4th test
-------------------
His ( total of grades ) for the first 3 tests was:
( average grade ) x ( number of tests ) = total of grades
----------------
I can say:
He needs a 97 on the 4th test
--------------

OK
