(Simplify your answer.)

72 is the minimum grade he must get on the last test in order to have an average of 77.

Step-by-step explanation:

The grades of a student are given 72,91,78,72 and the grade of his last test is not given.

The term average is defined as the sum of all the data in a set divided by the number of data in a set.

Here, the number of data is 5. (Because the students has 4 grades plus one grade for his last test).

The average he should get is 77.

Average = Sum of all grades / number of grades

Let, 'x' be the grade of the last test.

⇒ 77 = (72+91+78+72+x) / 5

⇒ 77 = (313+x) / 5

⇒ 385 = 313 + x

⇒ x = 385 - 313

⇒ x = 72

The minimum grade he must get on the last test is 72.
