They spent:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "$12 on food
\n" ); document.write( "$41 on souvenirs
\n" ); document.write( "$9 on drinks\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "total expenditures were 12 + 41 + 9 = $62\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "ratio of expenditures on drinks to total expenditures = 9/62.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The ratio is the fraction.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The fraction 9/62 is equivalent to .14516129 in decimal format.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The percent of total expenditures that they spent on drinks would be 100% times the decimal equivalent of the fraction.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( ".14516129 * 100% = 14.516129%.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
