Geometry  Problem 18
Pizza Pricing

In a local mall there are two “pizza-by-the-slice” vendors.  John’s Giant Pizza makes 20-inch (diameter) pizzas and cuts them into 8 pieces.  Pizza King makes 15-inch (diameter) pizzas and cuts them into 6 pieces.  A piece of pepperoni pizza at John’s Giant Pizzas sells for $2.49, and a similar piece of pepperoni pizza at Pizza King sells for $1.99.

Assuming that the quality of the pizza is the same, which pizza is a better value?
