6 x 76 = 456
456 - 96 = 360
360/5 = 72
So, the 5 other scores could be 70 + 71 + 72 + 73 + 74, and the x score is 96.
How I did it: I looked for 456 minus a score that would give me a number divisible by 5.

Thank you. I was playing with the numbers for the other answers (it says more than one can apply) and came up with 80 could also be an answer, with 78, 77, 76, 73, and 72 being the other scores. Is there a way to solve this problem algebraically, rather than me having to "test out" numbers that add up to 360. It seems like a lot of trial-and-error work.11/14/18
