A line plot shows how much juice, in cups, is in each of several glasses. Above 14\dfrac{1}{4} there are 44 X's, above 12\dfrac{1}{2} there are 33 X's, and above 34\dfrac{3}{4} there are 44 X's. Some more glasses, each holding 12\dfrac{1}{2} cup, are added so that there are exactly 77 cups of juice in all. How many X's are above 12\dfrac{1}{2} now?
