Question

Suppose a medium pizza was eaten by you and your 7 friends. As you were still hungry, you ordered a large pizza this time. The large pizza is again cut into 8 equal parts. The percentage of full large pizza eaten by you is:

• A. the same as that of the medium pizza
• B. less than that of the medium pizza
• C. more than that of the medium pizza
• D. can't be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is A

the same as that of the medium pizza

We can see this example as a type of pie chart. The medium pizza is a small pie chart, which is divided into 8 equal parts. So, the percentage of pizza eaten by you is $\frac{1}{8}$x100. Similarly, in the large pizza a similar pie chart is depicted. This is again divided into 8 equal parts, the percentage of large pizza eaten by you is $\frac{1}{8}$x100. So, the percentage of large pizza eaten by you will be same as percentage of medium pizza eaten by you.
