Answer:

  • 91

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean the the average of 5 numbers. If the next score is x, then the mean is:

  • (85 + 78 + 77 + 69 + x)/5 = 80

Solve it for x:

  • 309 + x = 80*5
  • x = 400 - 309
  • x = 91

It is given that,

The mean is the average of 5 numbers.

Then if the,

Next score is x the mean will be.

We can solve now,

→ (85 +78 +77 + 69 + x)/5 = 80

→ (309 + x)/5 = 80

→ 309 + x = 80 × 5

→ 309 + x = 400

→ x = 400 - 309

→ x = 91

Hence, the next score is 91.
