Question

Suppose you and 7 of your friends ate a medium pizza cut into 8 equal parts. Since you all were still hungry 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. more than that of the medium pizza.
• C. less than that of the medium pizza .
• D. two times more than that of the medium pizza.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

the same as that of the medium pizza.

We can see this example as a pie chart.

The medium pizza is divided into 8 equal parts. So, the percentage of pizza eaten by you $=\frac{1}{8}\times 100$.

Similarly the large pizza is again divided into 8 equal parts, the percentage of pizza eaten by you again $=\frac{1}{8}\times 100$.

So, the percentage of large pizza eaten by you will be same as percentage of medium pizza eaten.
