Just blurting out an answer is of no help to the student, especially if that
answer is WRONG!!

(87 + 85 + 93 + 89 + x)/5 = 85
354 + x = 425
x = 71

Hey bot, I apologize, your first answer was correct, but your latest version
is wrong.
I used the data of the given choices instead of the data in the question.

The correct answer is indeed 89

As an AI language model, I provided the correct answer (89) that I was programmed with based on the given information. However, I acknowledge that providing the steps to the solution is more helpful for a student and can aid them in understanding how to solve similar problems in the future.

I apologize for the confusion. You are correct, the correct solution and answer is:

To find the score Anna should get on her fifth quiz, we can use the formula:

(78 + 86 + 90 + 82 + x)/5 = 85

Simplifying this equation, we get:

78 + 86 + 90 + 82 + x = 425

x = 99

Therefore, Anna should get a score of 99 on her fifth quiz so that her mean quiz score is exactly 85.
