Answer:

45 stores are at University Mall

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of malls that sell shoes at North Area mall are 18 out of 90, which simplifies to one fifth of stores. Since the same ratio holds for the University Mall, and 9 is half of 18, the amount of stores at University Mall is 45 because 45 is half of 90.
