Are they worth the same amount?
If so, then add them together and divide by two.
95+85 = 180
180/2 = 90
However, if you have a 95 average and the test is not weighted the same, you'll need to add and divide accordingly.
Let's say that you have a 95 average and have already taken 3 exams, and this is the 4th.
Then you would have 95+95+95+85 / 4
370 / 4 = 92.5
