In words:
( average score ) = ( total of the 6 tests ) / 6
( total of the 6 tests ) = 6 x ( average score )
total of the 6 scores = +6%2A84+=+504+
-----------------------------------
The remaining 2 tests add +200+ to the total score
and add +2+ to the number of tests
----------------------------------
Average = +%28+504+%2B+200+%29+%2F+%28+6+%2B+2+%29+
Average = +704+%2F+8+
Average = +88+
