    20 students ... mean score of exam was 81 ...

    x / 20 = 81

    x = 81 * 20

    x = 1620 ... this is the total of all the grades added up

    (1620 - x) / 19 = 85

    1620 - x = 85 * 19

    1620 - x = 1615

    -x = 1615 - 1620

    -x = - 5

    x = 5 < = = = weird answer ... but thats what I am getting
