How do you convert raw score to scaled score?

Each correctly scored item below 50 is calculated by taking the number of correct answers, multiplied by the scaled-score value (~3), and added to 100; a raw score of 20 would be approximately a scaled score of 160 (20 x 3, + 100), whereas a raw score of 40 would be approximately a scaled score of 220 (40 x 3, + 100).
