Julie spent $122 on dinners for the youth-group party. She spent $77 on chicken dinners and the rest on pasta dinners. If the pasta dinners cost $5 each, how many pasta dinners did Julie buy? (1 point) Responses 6 pasta dinners 6 pasta dinners 9 pasta dinners 9 pasta dinners 14 pasta dinners 14 pasta dinners 40 pasta dinners
To find the number of pasta dinners Julie bought, subtract the cost of the chicken dinners from the total amount spent: $122 - $77 = $<<122-77=45>>45.
Divide the total amount spent on pasta dinners by the cost of each pasta dinner to find the number of pasta dinners bought: $45 / $5 = <<45/5=9>>9 pasta dinners. Answer: \boxed{9 \text{ pasta dinners}}.
