Mean score of combined glasses $= 76$

Explanation:

Total score for class with $30$ students and mean score of $72$
$color(white)("XXX")30xx72=2160$

Total score for class with $40$ students and mean score of $79$
$color(white)("XXX")40xx79=3160$

Total number of student in combined classes
$color(white)("XXX")30+40 = 70$

$color(white)("XXX")2160+3160 = 5320$

Mean score for combine classes
$color(white)("XXX")5320 div 70 = 76$
