How to calculate the percentage?

Let X represents the percentage of the money spent on the lottery tickets of the money spent to buy food on annual basis.

Annual money spent on the lottery tickets = Number of weeks in a year * Weekly money spent on the lottery tickets = 52 * $20 = $1,040

Annual money spent to buy food = Number months in a year * Annual money spent to buy food = 12 * $125 = $1,500

X = Annual money spent on the lottery tickets / Annual money spent to buy food = 0.6933, or 69.33%
