Math problem?

During a math competition, there is a countdown round for the highest scoring 25% of the students at the competition or the top 10 students at the competition, whichever is fewer students. What is the greatest number of students at a competition for which :25% of the students (to the nearest whole number)" is fewer students than "the top 10 students?" I am stumped on this one. I must show all work.
