Michael continues to add U.S. coins to the jar.
b. How many more U.S. coins must Michael add to the jar so that one eighth of the coins are foreign coins?
+36916 3/8 x 24 = 9 coins out of 24 are US
add 12 coins....now 9 out of 36 coins are US 9/36= 1/4
B. 9/(36 +x) = 1/8 solve for x.....the amount to add
