Let +x+ = your score on the next test
-------------
In order to have an 85 average, you need at least:
+85+=+%28+83+%2B+87+%2B+x+%29+%2F+3+
+255+=+83+%2B+87+%2B+x+
+x+%2B+170+=+255+
+x+=+85+
----------------
In order to have an 90 average, you need at least:
+90+=+%28+83+%2B+87+%2B+x+%29+%2F+3+
+270+=+83+%2B+87+%2B+x+
+x+%2B+170+=+270+
+x+=+100+
-----------------
You need to score between 85 and 100 inclusive

Let 3rd score be S
Then: 85+%3C+%2883+%2B+87+%2B+S%29%2F3+%3C+90+
255 < 170 + S < 270 ------- Multiplying by LCD, 3
255 - 170 < S < 270 - 170
85 < S < 100
The 3rd score should be between 85 and 100, non-inclusive.
