The following problem is from both the 2005 AMC 12B #4 and 2005 AMC 10B #6, so both problems redirect to this page.

## Problem

At the beginning of the school year, Lisa's goal was to earn an A on at least $80\%$ of her $50$ quizzes for the year. She earned an A on $22$ of the first $30$ quizzes. If she is to achieve her goal, on at most how many of the remaining quizzes can she earn a grade lower than an A?

$\mathrm{(A)}\ 1 \qquad \mathrm{(B)}\ 2 \qquad \mathrm{(C)}\ 3 \qquad \mathrm{(D)}\ 4 \qquad \mathrm{(E)}\ 5$

## Solution

Lisa's goal was to get an A on $80\% \cdot 50 = 40$ quizzes. She already has A's on $22$ quizzes, so she needs to get A's on $40-22=18$ more. There are $50-30=20$ quizzes left, so she can afford to get less than an A on $20-18=\boxed{\text{(B)}2}$ of them. Here, only the A's matter... No complicated stuff!
