According to the given data we have the following:

ma ate one slice of pizza

pa ate 2 pizza slices

Therefore, if there are 8 slices of pizza, the amount of pizza thay they ate together would be calculated as follows:

amount of pizza thay they ate together= number of pieces that they ate together/The total number of pieces

amount of pizza thay they ate together=3/8

amount of pizza thay they ate together=0.375

Therefore to calculate the amount of pizza that is not eaten we would have to make the following calculation:

amount of pizza that is not eaten=1-0.375

amount of pizza that is not eaten=0.625

Therefore, the percent of the pizza is not eaten is 62.5%
