1/8 of the pizza is about 12% and 1/3 is about 33%.  So if 45% of the pizza was eaten by Mario and his dog, there is about 55% left.

(If 1/4 means 25% then 1/8 is half of that 12.5% exactly but I used 12% since we are estimating)

Answer:  54.16% of pizza is left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Part of pizza ate by Mario = \(\dfrac{1}{8}\)

Part of pizza ate by his pet = \(\dfrac{1}{3}\)

So, total part ate by them is given by

\(\dfrac{1}{8}+\dfrac{1}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{8+3}{24}\\\\=\dfrac{11}{24}\)

Part of pizza left is given by

\(1-\dfrac{11}{24}\\\\=\dfrac{24-11}{24}\\\\=\dfrac{13}{24}\)

Percentage of pizza left is given by

\(\dfrac{13}{24}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{1300}{24}\\\\=54.16\%\)

Hence, 54.16% of pizza is left.
