Answer:

76

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that all exams have the same weight, in order to achieve an average score of 80, the sum of all scores must equal 4 x 80. Therefore, the grade Jose needs in his last exam is:

[tex]87+72+85+x=4*80\\x=76[/tex]

Jose needs to score a 76 in his last exam to have a mean of 80.
