The final grade must be 83

Explanation:

To think through this logically, she wants to get a average of 80 over 5 tests. #5*80# = 400. We want the total of all the test grades to equal 400.
Sum up what you know to get a base.

#84+77+84+75# = 317

now we want to know what will add to 317 to get 400.

#400-317# = 83

So her final grade must be at least an 83 to get an average of 80 or higher.
