You can set up a system of equations:
let x=number of 2-point questions, then
40-x = number of 3-point questions.
2(x) + 3(40-x) = 100
Solve for x.
Or you can solve mentally as follows:
If all questions are worth 2-point, then the total = 2*40=80 points, or 20 points too few.
Exchange 20 of the questions for 3 points will therefore give a total of 100 points, leaving 20 2-pointers, and 20 3-pointers.
