Solution

Mark ordered 19 pizzas.
Later, he gave 5 pizzas to his sister.

Giving away means subtraction.

$∴$ Mark will be left with $19 - 5$ pizzas.

For subtraction, stack the number such that we subtract the like terms, i.e., align the numbers from the right end.

$∴$ Mark will be left with 14 pizzas.

Let's check the answer.

If we add $5$ to $14$ we must get $19$ .

Hence, the answer, 14 pizzas, is correct.
