The pizza deal..............?

The 8" pizza sells for $ 4.99 at my favorite pizza store. The store claims they have a great deal on the large 14" pizza, which is specially priced at $ 11.5. What is the per cent discount the store is offering?The pizza deal..............?

hello cant u do ur maths homework urself :P
lol no discout you are receiving.



"8 pizza=4.99 mean '1 =.62375

'14 pizza=11.5 mean '1=.82142857142



how is discount there ur getting no discount but paying 14- % extra
Lets solve this question by cost per unit area.



First, for the 8" pizza, the area is pi x 4^2 = 50.26



For the 14" pizza, the area is pi x 7^2 = 153.9



So, now we know that 50.26 unit^2 of pizza would cost us $4.99.

By ratio, 153.9 unit^2 of pizza would cost $15.27



So the 14" pizza is at a discounted price of:

11.5/15.27 x 100% = 75.31%



So the store is offer a discount of 24.69%.
sorry i am not intrested in such a large pizza i better go for regular one
