    76%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let f represent the score on the final. Then Inara wants the final grade to be ...

    0.25·74 + 0.20·99 + 0.55·x ≥ 80

    38.3 + 0.55x ≥ 80

    0.55x ≥ 41.7

    x ≥ 41.7/0.55 ≈ 75.82

    Inara needs a final exam grade of 76% or better to earn at least 80% in the course.
