Hey there! Johnny Sins always here to help,

To find out what score Natasha needs to earn on her next test, we can use the following formula:

Average = (sum of all scores) / number of scores

Let's call the score Natasha needs to earn on her next test "x".

Her average so far is:

Average = (94 + 89 + 88 + 92 + 85) / 5 = 90

Her average after her next test will be:

Average = (94 + 89 + 88 + 92 + 85 + x) / 6

Now, we need to set this equal to 90% and solve for x:

90 = (94 + 89 + 88 + 92 + 85 + x) / 6

90 * 6 = (94 + 89 + 88 + 92 + 85 + x)

540 = (94 + 89 + 88 + 92 + 85 + x)

x = 540 - (94 + 89 + 88 + 92 + 85)

x = 540 - 448

x = 92

So, Natasha needs to earn a 92% on her next test to average at least 90%.
