    Average means add all scores and divide by number of scores earned

    last score is x

    so the sum is 75+81+x

    3 scores so (75+81+x) / 3=average

    must be no less than (greater than or equal to 80)

    (75+81+x) / 3≥80

    solve

    times both sides by 3 to clear fraction

    75+81+x≥240

    156+x≥240

    minus 156 from both sides

    x≥84

    the studen must earn at least 84 on last exam
