Question

After the game the coach bought 9 chickens meals for five dollars each and 15 burger meals for six dollars. What percent of the total amount the coach spent was used for the chicken meals?

Answer 1

chicken meals: 9 * 5 dollars = 45 dollars
burger meals: 15 * 6 dollars = 90 dollars
total amount: 45 + 90 = 135 dollars


`(chicken\ meals)/(total\ amount)*100\%= (45)/(135)*100\%= (1)/(3)*100\%= 33\frac13\%`
