(1 point) Responses 6 pasta dinners 6 pasta dinners 9 pasta dinners 9 pasta dinners 14 pasta dinners 14 pasta dinners 40 pasta dinners 40 pasta dinners
Let x be the number of pasta dinners Julie bought.
The cost of the chicken dinners was 77 dollars, and the cost of the pasta dinners was 122 - 77 = <<122-77=45>>45 dollars.
The number of pasta dinners multiplied by the cost per pasta dinner is equal to the cost of the pasta dinners, so x * 5 = 45.
Dividing both sides of the equation by 5 gives x = 45 / 5 = <<45/5=9>>9 pasta dinners.
Julie bought 9 pasta dinners. Answer: \boxed{9}.
