Answer:

744

Explanation:

First, you have to find the mean (average) of all the current scores of Latoya. (add all numbers together and divide by the number of values) The sum of all the numbers is 762, so I just kept decreasing the sum until dividing it by 8 gets the quotient of an average test score of 93. So, the answer is 744.

Hope this helps! <3
