Question

Mario ordered a pizza for dinner when it arrived, mario quickly ate 1/8 of the pizza.while mario went to go get napkins, his pet poodle ate 1/3 of the pizza.

a.about what percent of the pizza is left

Answer 1

1/8 of the pizza is about 12% and 1/3 is about 33%. So if 45% of the pizza was eaten by Mario and his dog, there is about 55% left.

(If 1/4 means 25% then 1/8 is half of that 12.5% exactly but I used 12% since we are estimating)

Answer 2

Answer: 54.16% of pizza is left.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Part of pizza ate by Mario =
`(1)/(8)`

Part of pizza ate by his pet =
`(1)/(3)`

So, total part ate by them is given by

`(1)/(8)+(1)/(3)\\\\=(8+3)/(24)\\\\=(11)/(24)`

Part of pizza left is given by

`1-(11)/(24)\\\\=(24-11)/(24)\\\\=(13)/(24)`

Percentage of pizza left is given by

`(13)/(24)* 100\\\\=(1300)/(24)\\\\=54.16\%`

Hence, 54.16% of pizza is left.
