A pizza shop sells two round pizzas which have the same thickness but are different in size.The smaller one has a diameter of 30cm.The larger one has a diameter of 60cm and costs twice the prize of the smaller one.In terms of 'cost effectiveness' or 'value for money' which of the following statement is true ? a)Each pizza is equally good value. b)More information is needed to workout which is better value. c)The larger pizza is better value. d)The smaller pizza is better value.

Area of smaller pizza = 3.14 X 15 X 15 = 706.5 cm2

Area of bigger pizza = 3.14 X 30 X 30 = 2826 cm2

So the answer is (c) The larger pizza is better value because you get 4 times the smaller pizza for double the price.
