Mary's score on the fifth test was 79.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for x, this way:

Mary's average score for the five tests = (Mary's 1st score + Mary's 2nd score + Mary's 3rd score + Mary's 4th score + Mary's 5th score)/5

Replacing with the values given:

81 = (88 + 91 + 75 + 72 + x)/5

81 * 5 = 326 + x

405 = 326 + x

- x = 326 - 405

x = 79

its adding 5.5 each time

step-by-step explanation:

one fourth of 9% = 2.25%

gavin is correct in saying : the equivalent quarterly interest rate would be

2.25%.
