Answer: The better buy is the the 12-inch deluxe for $5.99.
B. 12-inch pizza; $1.50
Explanation:
From the information given, the 10-inch cheese and sausage pizza is $4.99, while the 12-inch deluxe is $5.99. If he gets the 10-inch pizza. We would calculate the area of both pizzas by applying the formula for calculating the area of a circle which is expressed as
Area = πr^2
where
π = 3.14
r is the radius of the circle
For the 10-inch cheese and sausage pizza,
diameter = 10
r = 10/2 = 5
Area = 3.14 x 5^2 = 78.5
If it is divided among 3 people,
each person gets 78.5/3 = 26.2 in^2
Amount that each person pays = 4.99/3 = $1.66
This means that each person pays $1.66 for 26.2 in^2
For the 12-inch cheese and sausage pizza,
diameter = 12
r = 12/2 = 6
Area = 3.14 x 6^2 = 113.04
If it is divided among 4 people,
each person gets 113.04/4 = 28.26 in^2
Amount that each person pays = 5.99/4 = $1.5
This means that each person pays $1.5 for 28.26 in^2
Thus, the better buy is the the 12-inch deluxe for $5.99.
The amount that each person pays is
B. 12-inch pizza; $1.50
