work the average problem backwards:
find what the total number of her test grades are before she takes out one test:
0.71*5 =3.55
find what the total number of her test grades are after she takes out one test:
0.76*4= 3.04
subtract the numbers you found: 3.55-3.04=0.51 or 51%
she took out the test number of 51%
