[Question]In a house of 15, 3/5 of the people eat pizza. If Aviana brought pizza with 50 pieces, and each person eating pizza took 4 pieces, calculate the number of pizza pieces that remained.
[Answer]
If there are 15 people in the house, the number of people eating pizza is 3 / 5 * 15 = 9 people. If each house member who eats pizza took four pieces to eat, the number of pieces taken is 4 * 9 = 36 pieces. Since the total number of pieces was 50, the number of pieces not taken is 50 - 36 = 14 pieces. The answer is 14.
