The method, explained
Needed = max(0, ceil[(target fraction × total − attended)/(1 − target fraction)]).
Using classes attended = 30, classes held = 40, target attendance = 80 %, the result is 10 classes. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.
What to keep in mind
