Let x represent Holly's score on 7th math quiz.
We have been given that the mean of Holly's first six math quiz scores was 75%. This means that the average on 1st 6 math quizzes is 75.
To find the total scores on 1st 6 math quizzes, we will multiply 75 by 6 that is
.
We will use average formula to find test scores on 7th math quiz.
![\text{Average of 7 math quizzes}=\frac{\text{Sum of scores on 7 math quizzes}}{\text{7 quizzes}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BAverage%20of%207%20math%20quizzes%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5Ctext%7BSum%20of%20scores%20on%207%20math%20quizzes%7D%7D%7B%5Ctext%7B7%20quizzes%7D%7D)
![77=\frac{x+450}{7}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=77%3D%5Cfrac%7Bx%2B450%7D%7B7%7D)
Let us solve for x.
![77\cdot 7=\frac{x+450}{7}\cdot 7](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=77%5Ccdot%207%3D%5Cfrac%7Bx%2B450%7D%7B7%7D%5Ccdot%207)
![539=x+450](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=539%3Dx%2B450)
![x+450=539](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%2B450%3D539)
![x+450-450=539-450](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%2B450-450%3D539-450)
![x=89](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%3D89)
Therefore, Molly's score on the 7th math quiz was 89.
