First, find the total score for the initial 30 students: Total score for 30 students=30×80=2400

Next, find the total score for the 5 additional students: Total score for 5 students=5×85=425

Combine the total scores: Combined total score=2400+425=2825

Find the new average score for the entire class of 35 students: New average score=2825/35=80.71≈81
