I didn't' find the price per square inch.
\n" ); document.write( "I found the ratio of one pizza to the other in size and in price.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a=pi*r^2
\n" ); document.write( "a=pi*5^2=25*pi
\n" ); document.write( "The area of the smaller pizza is 25*pi
\n" ); document.write( "a=pi*7.5^2=56*pi
\n" ); document.write( "The area of the larger pizza is 56*pi
\n" ); document.write( "We don't need to work out the exact size because pi will cancel out pi
\n" ); document.write( " (56pi) /(25 pi)= 56 to 25
\n" ); document.write( "56/25=2.24
\n" ); document.write( "The larger pizza is 2.24 times the size of the smaller
\n" ); document.write( "The ratio of the prices is almost 2 to 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "19.99/10=1.999
\n" ); document.write( "You are paying less than 2 to 1 but getting 2.24 to 1.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You get more pizza for your dollar if you buy the large.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The other tutor tried to give you the cost per square inch but put the same price for both
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
