Pizza Server Lesson
Directions:You will be going to an Internet pizza restaurant,
ordering a pizza, and determining whether a small, medium, large,
or family size pizza is a better buy. Your answers must be supported
with explanations of how you determined your answers.
Problems and Questions:
- Order a small, medium, large and family size pizza. Use
a metric ruler and measure the diameter in centimeters of a small,
medium, large, and family size pizza. Calculate the area for
each size pizza. Record this data.
- What is the "base" price (without any toppings)
of a small, medium, large, and family size pizza?
- Calculate the price per topping. Does this price change
in relationship to the size of the pizza?
- What size pizza, containing two toppings is the better
buy? Explain your answer algebraically and support with a explanatory
paragraph.
- What is the most expensive pizza that can be ordered?
How did you determine your answer? How much would this same pizza
cost if the only thing changed was the size to small?
If you're ready to begin; head to the Internet
