Let Nisha scores 'x' marks in her 5th test so as to have a mean score of 80 marks in five tests.So, according to the question.
(73 + 86 + 78 + 75 + x)/5 = 80
(312 + x)/5 = 80
312 + x = 400
x = 400 - 312
x = 88
So, Nisha has to score 88 marks in her 5th test so as to have a mean score of 80 marks in five tests.
