9 chicken meals for $5 each.

15 burger meals for $6 each.

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

[tex]\$5(9)+ \$ 6(15)=45+90=\$135[/tex]

But chicken meals only was: [tex]\$5(9)=\$45[/tex]

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

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