You can put this solution on YOUR website!
grades on first 5 maths exams = 89,79,82,91 &92
sum of grades on 5 exams = 89+79+82+91+92
= 433
let x be the grade on last exam
hence total = 433+x
average = 75
%28433%2Bx%29+%2F6=+75
+%28433%2Bx%29++=+6%2A75
+433%2Bx=++450
x= 450-433
x= 17
Hence he should get at least 17 marks on last exam
