75+85+90+X
----------- > or = to 85
4

x is her last score which has not been taken. Explain this equation and the process you would use to solve for the unknown test score. Solve for the test score.

Can you please explain the process you used to solve? Thank you

75+85+90+x/4=85

250+x/4=85

250+x= 340

x=90
