Pg 651 - Q10

Think of N as the total sum of the first set of numbers before they were divided by 9.  So you can say that N / 9 = 9.  You can simplify that to N = 81.  Let’s say that M is the new number added.  So (N + M) / 10 = 9.  You can simplify that to N + M = 90.  Plug in 81 for N in this new equation: 81 + M = 90
     M = 9 (D).
