Question

Suppose you, along with 7 of your friends ate a medium pizza cut into 8 equal parts. Since all of you remained hungry after that, you ordered one more pizza. This time a large pizza, which is again cut into 8 equal parts. The percentage of the full large pizza eaten by you will be

• 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 pie chart. In the medium pizza, small pie chart, the chart is divided into 8 equal parts. So, the percentage of pizza eaten by you is $\frac{1}{8}$x100. Similarly, in large pizza, similar pie chart which is again divided into 8 equal parts, the percentage of pizza eaten by you is again $\frac{1}{8}$x100. So, the percentage of large pizza eaten by you will be same as the percentage of medium pizza eaten by you.
