Question

6th grade math help me pleaseeee

Answer 1

Meryann had 6 friends at the party.

Explanation:

Total cost = $78

Pizza cost = $24

1 Movie Ticket = $9

Movie Tickets = Total Cost - Pizza Cost

Movie Tickets = $78 - $24 = $54

No. of Friends = Movie Tickets ÷ Movie Ticket

No. of Friends = $54 ÷ $9 = 6

No. of Friends = 6

Answer 2

Meryann brought 6 friends to the party

Explanation:

y=9x+24

24 is your constant because the cost for all the pizza won't change

9x will change, so x represents the number of friends she brought

and y will be 78 because it's the total amount of money

78=9x+24

all you have to do is solve this equation

54=9x

x=6
