To average 50 on 6 tests, the current sum of his scores is:

7 x 60 = 420
.
desired sum - current sum = needed score
420 - 300 = 120

In words,
[ the average score] = [ total of all the scores ] / [ the number of test ]
----------------
The total for the 1st 6 tests is:
[ 6 tests ] x [ average score of 50 ]
------------------
The total score for the 7 tests is:
[ average score of 60 ] = [ total score for 7 tests ] / [ 7 tests ]
He needs a score of 120 in the 7th test to average 60
