Question
Patricia have finished 
of her pizza remaining she has left for her brother. What percent of pizza did Patricia’s brother get
- 20%
- 30%
- 50%
- 75%
Hint:
1. When a certain quantity is divided into 100 equal parts and a certain part of it is to be expressed in terms of the whole quantity, that portion is called as a percent, represented with a % sign.
2. Percentage of pizza left for Patricia's brother = Number of pieces left for him/ Total number of pieces * 100.
3. Total number of pieces in a pizza = Number of pieces had by Patricia + Number of pieces had by her brother.
The correct answer is: 75%
Given-
Number of pieces had by Patricia = 2
Total number of pieces in the pizza = 8
To find-
Percentage of women
Solution-
We know that-
Total number of pieces in a pizza = Number of pieces had by Patricia + Number of pieces had by her brother.
∴ 8 = 2 + Number of pieces had by her brother
∴ 8 - 2 = Number of pieces had by her brother
∴ 6 = Number of pieces had by her brother ............................. (Equation i)
Percentage of pizza left for Patricia's brother = Number of pieces left for him/ Total number of pieces * 100
∴ Percentage of pizza left for Patricia's brother = 6 / 8 * 100 ................................. (From Equation i)
∴ Percentage of pizza left for Patricia's brother = 75%
Final Answer- Option 'd' i.e. '75%' is the correct answer to the given question.
We assume that the portion of pizza that Patricia had i.e. 2/8 represents 2 pieces of the total 8 pieces in the pizza.
i.e. we assume tat there were total 8 pieces in the pizza.
