Answer;
The cost is $0.07 per square inch
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are asked to calculate the cost of the Chicago pizza per square inch rounded to the nearest cent.
Firstly, we will need to calculate the area occupied by the 14 inch medium pepperoni pizza made by Chicago pizza
Since the pizza is circular in shape, we use the formula for the area of a circle to calculate its area in square inch
Mathematically, the area of a circle is equal to π . Here, our r is half the size of the pizza as the 14 inch represents the full length of the pizza across the center of the pizza ( This is the diameter) d=2r or r = D/2 = 14/2= 7 inch
The area is thus = 22/7 × 7 × 7 = 154 square inch
Now, since the full pizza costs $10.49, the cost of the pizza per square inch is 10.49/154 = 0.068 = $0.07 per square inch
