Answer:

76

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

[tex]\sf Average=\dfrac{\textsf{sum of all the numbers}}{\textsf{amount of numbers}}[/tex]

Given values:

  • First three test scores: 84, 78 and 82
  • Total number of tests = 4
  • Average score for all four tests = 80

Let x be the score of the fourth test.

To find the score of the fourth test, substitute the given values into the formula and solve for x:

[tex]\begin{aligned} \sf Average & =\dfrac{\textsf{sum of all the numbers}}{\textsf{amount of numbers}}\\\\\implies \sf 80 & = \sf \dfrac{84+78+82+x}{4}\\\sf 80 & = \sf \dfrac{244+x}{4}\\\sf 80 \cdot 4 & = \sf 244 + x \\\sf 320 & = \sf 244 + x\\\implies \sf x & = \sf 320 - 244\\& = \sf 76\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, John scored 76 on his fourth test.
