Answer:

73

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up as if you're finding the average:  total the 6 scores and add 'x', then divide by 7 and set this equal to 75

'x' = score she must meet or exceed to achieve an average of 75

452 + x = 75

     7

cross-multiply:  452 + x = 75(7)

452 + x = 525

x = 73
