Question

Mario Agnello is opening a new pizza shop in town. He plans to offer a 16-inch diameter pizza and an 18-inch diameter pizza. He has set the price of a 16-inch cheese pizza at $8.00, based on the amount of ingredients needed to cover that size crust. If Mario would like to keep the pricing proportional, what should he charge for an 18-inch cheese pizza?
