If four tests average 80%, then the four scores must
add up to (4 x 80) = 320.

From the first three tests, she already has (84 + 92 + 80) = 256.

On the fourth one, anything over (320 - 256) =  64% will give her
an average of 80% for all four tests.

She must score above 64 percent on her fourth exam to get a B (80%) in the course.

What is Average?

This is a mathematical term which is calculated by adding quantities together and dividing the total by the number of quantities.

To get four tests average to be 80%, then the four scores must

add up = 4 x 80 = 320.

The first three tests = (84 + 92 + 80) = 256.

On the fourth one, anything over (320 - 256) =  64%
