Answer:

he would have 74 pennies i think

Explanation:

he already has 11 pennies on the first day and each day after he gets 7 more. so putting that into a equation,specifically y=mx+b, the equation would be y=7x+11. since there are 9 days after that,9 would replace the x value. so you would plug 9 in making the new equation y=7×9+11. all u do now is solve, 7×9 is 63,then plus 11 is 74
