    The minimum score Jasmine needs to make on the fifth test to ensure her average is at least 80% is 56%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    This is the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

    Score 1st test = 87% Score 2nd test = 92% Score 3rd test = 76% Score 4th test = 89% Score 5th test = x

    Now, let's calculate the average of Jasmine's scores and to solve for x:

    (87 + 92 + 76 + 89 + x) / 5 ≥ 80

    (344 + x) / 5 ≥ 80

    344 + x ≥ 80 * 5

    344 + x ≥ 400

    x ≥ 400 - 344

    x ≥ 56
