Question

Sam divided a medium size pizza into 8 equal slices and ate 2 slices.
What percentage of pizza he did not eat?

• A. 25%
• B. 90%
• C. 50%
• D. 75%

Answer 1

The correct option is D 75%

Sam divided a pizza into 8 equal slices.

He ate 2 of the slices.
Number of slices left = 6

$\therefore$ Fraction of the pizza he did not eat $=\frac{6}{8}$

$\therefore$ In percentage it can be written as $\frac{6}{8}\times 100\text{\%}=75\text{\%}$

Thus, Sam did not eat 75% of the pizza.
