Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x = the  score needed  to have an average of at least 80

(75+82+90+84+71+x)/6=> 80

Multiply both sides by 6

402 + x = 6(80)

x => 480 - 402

x => 78 is the grade  needed  to get at least   80

Maximum score on a test is 100.

It is not  possible  to have an average score of 90 after the sixth test because none of the 5 scores are above 90

Check

(402+ 100)/6 = 83.67

Even  with a 100 on the 6th test,the total score will not be 90

A
