My daughters, Jenny and Pam,
are each planning their own pizza party with their friends. Jenny has
decided to order plain pizzas that cost $6 each and Pam has decided to order
pepperoni pizzas that cost $9 each. Both
Jenny and Pam told me that they will need more than one pizza for their party.
How much money should I give Jenny and how much money should I give
Pam, so that I am fair and give them each the same amount of money?

For 4th and 5th graders: My other daughter, Emily, would like to plan a pizza party with her friends too. Emily decided to order supreme pizzas that cost $12 each and she will also need more than one pizza for her party. How much money should I give Emily, Jenny, and Pam so that I am fair and give them each the same amount of money?
