To find out what percentage of the pizza is left, we can subtract the fractions of pizza that Mario and his pet poodle ate from 1 (since 1 is the whole pizza).
Mario ate 1/4 of the pizza, which means there is 1 - 1/4 = 3/4 of the pizza left.
Then, his pet poodle ate 1/3 of the pizza, which means there is 3/4 - 1/3 = 9/12 - 4/12 = 5/12 of the pizza left.
To find out what percentage that is, we can divide 5/12 by the whole (1), and then multiply by 100.
(5/12) x 100 = 41.67
So, approximately 41.67% of the pizza is left.
Mario ordered a pizza for dinner. When it arrived, Mario quickly ate 1/4
of the pizza. While Mario was getting napkins, his pet poodle ate 1/3
of the pizza.
