Answer:

Explanation:

80 * 4 = 320

84 + 78 + 82 + x = 244

244 + x = 320

x = 320 - 244

x = 76

Answer:

76

Explanation:

In order for John's average to be 80, the sum of all of his test scores must be 4*80 = 320. We can add 84, 78, and 82 to get 244, and then we subtract 244 from 320 to obtain the answer 76.
