There are thirteen test scores, an odd number, so the median of the test scores is the score which, after the scores are ordered, appears in the middle. Order the scores from greatest to least:
12, 19, 19, 20, 22, 22, 22, 23, 28, 28, 29, 34, 35
As there are 
scores, we are seeking out the score that ranks at number
That is, the median is the seventh-highest score. This score can be seen to be 22.

In order for John to maintain a 90 average for the marking period, his total for four tests must be 360.
or 
If you add up the scores that he already received, he already has 267 points.
If you take the total of 267, which is the total amount of points for the three tests already taken and subtract it from the 360 points which is the total amount of points needed for a 90 average, he would need to get a 93 on his last test.

The mean score is the sum of all scores divided by the number of scores.
First, find the sum of all three test scores, then divide by the number of tests, 3.
If Veronica wants her average to be 80, the equation becomes:
We need to solve for 
.
First, multiply both sides of the equation by 3:
Subtract 146 from both sides:
Veronica must score a 94 on her third test in order to bring her mean score to 80.
