    84

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The average is found by adding all the scores together and dividing by the number of scores

    Let the unknown score be x

    (85+90+79+72+x) / 5 = 82

    Multiply each side by 5

    (85+90+79+72+x) / 5*5 = 82*5

    (85+90+79+72+x) = 410

    Combine like terms

    326+x = 410

    Subtract 326 from each side

    326+x-326 = 410 - 326

    x = 84

    84

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Because average is basically the mean, so i used a mean calculator and put in the four grades (numbers) and got an average of 81.5, so then i kept putting an additional other number in and wasn't getting 82, until i put in 84 and all of those numbers together gave me an average of 82.
