Question

eats one eighth of it, what percent is left over?

Answer 1

62.5%
hope this helps

Answer 2

62.5%

Explanation:

You ate pizza =
`(1)/(4)`

your dog ate pizza =
`(1)/(8)`

Both ate total pizza =
`(1)/(4)` +
`(1)/(8)`

=
`(2+1)/(8)`

=
`(3)/(8)` pizza

Now left over pizza = 1 -
`(3)/(8)`

=
`(8-3)/(8)`

=
`(5)/(8)` pizza

To convert the fraction into percentage we will multiplied it by 100.

`(5)/(8)* 100`

= 0.625 × 100

= 62.5%

62.5% pizza is left over.
