Answer 2

Answer:

A. 33 1/3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

9 chicken meals for $5 each.

15 burger meals for $6 each.

First of all, notice that the total money spent is $135.

$\ 5(9)+ \ 6(15)=45+90=\ 135$

But chicken meals only was: $\ 5(9)=\ 45$

Then, we divide and multiply by 100 to find the percentage

$\frac{45}{135} \times 100 = 33.33 \%$.

Therefore, chicken meals represent a 33 1/3% of total expenses.
