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

`(45)/(135) * 100 = 33.33 \%`.

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