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. 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

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 $\frac{1}{8}\times 100.$

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

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