Answer / guest
Mark would have ate 127/128 (99.22%) of the pizza during the
week.
Mark ate half the pizza on Monday. On Tuesday, he would have
ate half of the remaining pizza i.e. 1/4 of the original
pizza. Similarly, he would have ate 1/8 of the original
pizza on Wednesday and so on for the seven days.
Total pizza Mark ate during the week is
= 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + 1/32 + 1/64 + 1/128
= 127/128
= 99.22% of the original pizza

Answer / divya
Mark ate 1/2 of the pizza on 1st day, 1/2 left
1/4 on the second..., 1/4 left
.....................
.....................
on the 7th day, ate 1/128 and 1/128 is left.
so, he ate 1-(1/128) of the pizza
ie, 127/128
ie,99.22%.

Given, Ram ate half a cheese on Monday he ate half of what was left on Tuesday and so on.
Amount of cheese eaten by Ram =12+12×12+12×12×12……..+127

⇒ Amount of cheese eaten by Ram =12×1−112812=127128=0.9922
∴ Amount of cheese eaten by Ram in% = 99.22%
