How fast was the car moving?

POlice examining the scene of an accident measure a skid mark 50 m long for a car that nearly came to a stop before colliding with a post (Vfinal~~ 0). If the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road is 0.8 how fast was the car moving just before the brakes were applied? What is it in mph?
