--hints--

passing_count([90, 85, 75, 60, 50], 70) should return 3.

js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(passing_count([90, 85, 75, 60, 50], 70), 3)`)
}})

passing_count([100, 80, 75, 88, 72, 74, 79, 71, 60, 92], 75) should return 6.

TestCase().assertEqual(passing_count([100, 80, 75, 88, 72, 74, 79, 71, 60, 92], 75), 6)`)
}})

passing_count([79, 60, 88, 72, 74, 59, 75, 71, 80, 92], 60) should return 9.
