Answer:

306 calories

Explanation:

By looking at the problem, we can conclude the number of chicken nuggets and the calories are directly related, when the amount of chicken nuggets go up, the calories also go up, proportionally. Because of this, we can set up an equation:

6 / 204 = 9 / x

Where x is the amount of calories in 9 chicken nuggets.

Now, we can simplify by cross multiplying:

6x = 1836

x = 306 calories
