Answer with explanation:

→→To get grade B, Average of Alexandria should be equal to 80.

Score of first four tests of Alexandria are : 80, 73, 81, and 75.

Let Marks obtained in fifth test = x

Mean or Average


=\frac{\text{Sum of all the Observation}}{\text{Total number of Observation}}\\\\80=(80+73+81+75+x)/(5)\\\\400=309+x\\\\400-309=x\\\\x=91

Lowest score that Alexandria should score that she can get on the last test and still get a​ B =91
