Multiply 80 by 5. From that, subtract the sum of the scores you already have. The result is the lowest score you can obtain and have a score of 80 or better.

Multiply 90 by 5. From that, subtract the sum of the scores you already have. The result is the largest score you can obtain and have a score of 90 or less.
