Recall that "average" means the sum of the numbers divided by how many numbers you added up.
You need the average of 5 tests to be 90. The five scores will be:
86, 93, 80, 88, and x. Find the average:
Add the numbers and multiply both sides by 5.
Subtract 347 from both sides.
is the required score on the fifth test.
