Problem
At the beginning of the school year, Lisa's goal was to earn an A on at least of her
quizzes for the year. She earned an A on
of the first
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?

Lisa's goal was to get an A on quizzes. She already has A's on
quizzes, so she needs to get A's on
more. There are
quizzes left, so she can afford to get less than an A on
of them.
