Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Mavis has played a total of 6 games (5 games + 1 next game).

To raise her average to 89, Mavis needs to score a total of 89 x 6 = <<89*6=534>>534 points in total.
Her current total score is 87 x 5 = <<87*5=435>>435.
Therefore, Mavis needs to score 534 - 435 = <<534-435=99>>99 points in her next game. Answer: \boxed{99}.
