The original grades have a range of 80-40=40
\n" ); document.write( "The converted range is 90-60=30
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "to convert the range of 40 to one of 30
\n" ); document.write( "mltiply as follows: (30/40)(40)=3/4(40)=0.75(40)=30
\n" ); document.write( "So the conversion factor is 0.75
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "But the least score must be 60
\n" ); document.write( "So the equation is new score= (0.75)(old score) + 60
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "To convert a score of 45 proceed as follows:
\n" ); document.write( "new score = 0.75(45) + 60
\n" ); document.write( "new score = 33.75 + 60 = 93.75
\n" ); document.write( "Rounded the new score = 94
