How much is the jar is filled with Canadian coin?

- if using canadian coins the jar will be filled by about 35%.

Could you fill the jar with $100 american and $100 canadian?Why?

-No, if you put $100 american and $100 canadian coins on the jar it will have an extra 104 coins (10%). {75% + 35% = 110%}.

If you started droping coins on the jar on January 1, 2010, what daywould you finsh filling up the jar with $canadian and $american.

- if you keep dropping 1 coin every day it will take you until January 15, 2013. (780 + 370 = 1150) {1150 ÷ 365.25 = 3.15(round to hundredths)}
