Part 1

On an annual​ basis, the money spent on lottery tickets is 

enter your response here​% 

of the money spent to buy food. 

Let's break this problem into two parts:

### 1. Annual Spending on Lottery Tickets:
Maria spends \$1313 per week on lottery tickets. To find the total annual spending on lottery tickets:
\[
\text{Annual Lottery Spending} = 1313 \times 52
\]

### 2. Annual Spending on Food:
Maria spends \$133133 per month on food. To find the total annual spending on food:
\[
\text{Annual Food Spending} = 133133 \times 12
\]

### 3. Percentage Calculation:
Now, we calculate what percentage the annual lottery spending is of the annual food spending:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Annual Lottery Spending}}{\text{Annual Food Spending}} \right) \times 100
\]

I'll compute the values now.### Solution:
1. **Annual Lottery Spending**: Maria spends \$68,276 on lottery tickets annually.
2. **Annual Food Spending**: Maria spends \$1,597,596 on food annually.

The percentage of the annual lottery spending compared to the annual food spending is approximately **4.27%**.

So, the completed sentence is: 
On an *annual* basis, the first set of expenses (lottery tickets) is **4.27%** of the second set of expenses (food).
