To find out what Mario needs to score on the next test in order to achieve an average of 85, we need to calculate the sum of his current test scores and find the difference between that sum and the desired average multiplied by 8 (since there are a total of 8 tests).

Sum of the current test scores = 70 + 82 + 95 + 81 + 78 + 82 + 93 = 581

Difference = (85 * 8) - 581 = 680 - 581 = 99

Therefore, Mario needs to score a 99 on the next test in order to achieve an average of 85.
