    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
