To score an average of 90, you need 90*6 = 540 points.
So far you have 95 + 86 + 79 + 88 + 83 = 431 points.
You would need 540 - 431 = 109 points which is only possibly if the teacher gives a bonus question!

Your grades on five math tests are 95,86,79,88,83. What grade do you need on the sixth test to have an average of 90%.
--------------------
Let the grade on the 6th test be "x".
EQUATION:
(95+86+79+88 + 83 + x)/6 = 90
431 + x = 540
x = 109
-----------
You would need a grade of 109 on the 6th test.
