"John has two extra credit questions on every test. Each question is worth 1 point. John has had 4 test in his class. He has 25% of the total possible points (8). How many of these extra credit questions has John got correct?"

How many points are the regular (non-extra-credit) questions worth? Is the "8" equal to the total points available, or equal just to twenty-five percent of those points?
