So we see that the medium pizza has 4 times the volume of a small pizza.
So that statement – A medium pizza is twice as large as a small pizza is
INCORRECT.
m
Since 4 small pizzas º 1 medium pizza
Then the equivalent cost of 4 small pizzas
co
= $12.95 ´ 4
= $51.80
.
4 small pizzas is equivalent in volume to 1 medium pizza which costs
hs
$47.95
\ The ‘better buy’ (which supposedly means more pizza at a lesser price)
is obtained by buying a medium pizza.
