Answer:

6 questions

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you divide the total score of 100 by the 64 questions to get 1.5625 points per question. Next, you divide the lowest score to qualify of 90 by the 1.5625 to get 57.6 questions correct to qualify. Then, you round 57.6 questions correct up to 58 questions correct because a fraction of a question correct doesn't make sense. Finally, you subtract the total number of questions (64) by the required correct answers (58) to get 6 questions you can miss to still qualify for the scholarship.
