Answer:

She asked 10 friends to buy tickets.

Explanation:

If each ticket sells for 3 dollars, you can get the amount of people that bought the tickets by taking the amount earned divided by the price of the ticket.

$18 / $3 = 6

If 6 friends bought tickets and 4 friends did not, add the two together and you will get how much people Monica asked.

6 + 4 = 10

She asked 10 friends to buy tickets.
