Answer 2

Mario Agnello is opening a new pizza shop in town. He plans to offer a 12-inch diameter pizza and an 18-inch diameter pizza. He has set the price of a 12-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?

Show and explain your solution.

Answer 3

basically, ratio of pizza size and price must be same, so you have \(\dfrac{$8.00}{12~in} = \dfrac{?}{18~in}\)

Answer 4

and we need to know the value that goes to ? (let it be p as price)

So we have \(\dfrac{8}{12} = \dfrac{p}{18}\). Can you solve for p?

Answer 5

12? @geerky42

Answer 6

yep. so for 18 inch cheese pizza, he should charge $12.

Does this help?
