Provide an appropriate response.A 7-in. pizza costs $8 and a 14-in. pizza costs $20. Tommy says the smaller pizza is a better buy because the larger pizza is twice as big and more than twice as expensive. Do you agree with his reasoning? If not, explain why not.

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Answers will vary. Possible answer: No. In terms of area, the larger pizza is actually four times as big as the smaller pizza. Since the larger pizza is less than four times as expensive as the smaller pizza, the larger pizza is the better buy.
