12.5 % = 16 slices , 25%= 32, therefore 100 %= 32*4= 128

The four guys eat 12.5% of the entire pizza. If we call t the total number of slices, they are eating 0.125t.
Every person will therefore eat 0.125t/4.
If everybody gets 4 slices, this means that 0.125t/4 = 4 slices.
Hence t = 4*4/0.125 = 128
