At the Mountain School, Micchell is assigned a grade of 3.03.0 or 4.04.0 for each class he takes. His college potential is then defined as the average of his grades over all classes taken. After taking 40 classes, Micchell has a college potential of 3.9753.975. Unfortunately, he needs a college potential of at least 3.9953.995 to get into the South Harmon Institute of Technology. Otherwise, he becomes a rock. Assuming he receives a grade of 4.04.0 in every class he takes from now on, how many more classes does he need to take in order to get into the South Harmon Institute of Technology?
