Question

anonymous · Answer

find a value that is divisible by five that equals 74...

anonymous · Answer

74 = (77+71+77+67+x)/5
solve for x.

anonymous · Answer

74(5)= 77+71+77+67+x
370=292+x
78=x
so 78 is the highest score the team can get to equal 74.

@Nikebauer12 wouldn't it be more educational to involve the OP with a discussion rather than just solving the problem for them?  No one is really interested in whether or not WE can solve it...
