Kyleigh Greene · Answer 1

87 is the median because 83 and 87's average is 85.

Carina Schmitt · Answer 2

Mean = (83 + 93 + 78 + 89 + 83 + x) / 6

85 = (426 + x) / 6

Multiply both sides by 6 to remove the denominator on the RHS of the equation

85 * 6 = [ (426 + x) / 6] * 6

510 = 426 + x

510 - 426 = x

84 = x

x = 84

She has to get a score of 84 to have a median score of 85.
