The number which doesn't represent the amount of pizza left is 30%

Using the parameters from the model ;

  • Number of bars = 3
  • Number of bars with pizza = 1

Amount of pizza left as a fraction ;

  • Number of bars with pizza / Number of bars

Now we have :

In fraction = 1/3

multiplying by 4 ;

  • 1/3 × 4/4 = 4/12

Expressing as a percentage ;

1/3 × 100% = 33.33%

Expressing as a decimal ;

  • 1/3 = 0.333

Hence, the number which doesn't represent the amount of pizza left is 30% .
