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.
