Total points: $$40\times 25=1000$$.  To have as many $100$ points as possible, we should consider there are only two groups of students: everyone gets $5$ points in a group and everyone gets $100$ in the other group.  $$10\times 100=1000$$, so there must be less than $10$ people getting $100$ points.  If there are nine $100$s: $$9\times 100+31\times 5=1055\textgreater1000$$, which is impossible.  If there are eight $100$s:$$8\times 100+32\times 5=960\textless{}1000$$.  Thus, the answer is $$8$$. 
In a verbal test, the average score of $$40$$ students is $$25$$. The lowest score is $$5$$. At most how many student(s) can get $$100$$ points?
