You can put this solution on YOUR website!
84% of 50 = 0.84*50 = 42\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So you must get at least 42 correct\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This means you are allowed to miss up to 50 - 42 = 8 problems (ie your max allowed you can miss is 8)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
