There are 1000 milliliters (mL) in a liter (L). Remember that the prefix milli- means one thousandth.

Since Tony made 14 liters, that means he made:

14 \: L * (1000\: mL)/(L) = 14000 \: mL \: total

His guests drank 9500 mL, so subtract from the total amount of lemonade made to get the amount left over:

14000 \: mL - 9500 \:mL = 4500\: mL

------

Answer: 4500 mL
