He needs to score 86 in fourth test to have an average of 80.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given scores are;

76, 81 and 77

Average = 80

Let x be the fourth test score.

As we know;

[tex]Average =\frac{Sum\ of\ the\ terms}{Number\ of\ terms}\\80=\frac{76+81+77+x}{4}[/tex]

Multiplying both sides by 4

[tex]4*\frac{76+81+77+x}{4} = 80*4\\76+81+77+x = 320\\234+x=320\\x=320-234\\x=86[/tex]

He needs to score 86 in fourth test to have an average of 80.
