Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3 coins pulled are 10 cents or more
5 coins are under 10 cents
so 3 out of 8 coins are 10 cents or more
the jar contains 200 coins
This is a ratio problem 3 is to 8 as x (an unknown value) is to 200
3/8 = x/200 solve for x
times both sides by 200
200(3/8) = x solve directly here using a calculator
600/8 = x or keep similifying until you can divide more
300/4 = x easily I kept dividing the numerator and the
150/2 = x denominator by 2 until i got 150/2 = 75
75 = x
