--------------
There will be five grades.
Let the missing grade be "x".
EQUATION:
(76+90+85+87+2x)/5 = 84
(338 + 2x) = 420
2x = 82
x=41 (You need a 41 on the next test)

:
Let grade required to be = x,
:
That would give you a total number of grades of 6
:
 = 84
:
Multiply equation by 6 and you have:
76 + 90 + 85 + 87 + 2x = 504
:
338 + 2x = 504
:
2x = 504 - 338
:
2x = 166
:
x = 166/2
:
x = 83 required
