The Pizza Question

FEBRUARY 23, 2013

A woman goes to a restaurant and orders a 12-inch pizza for $10. The waiter says the 15-inch pie for $15 is a better deal. But $15 is 50 percent more than $10; 15 inches is only 25 percent more than 12 inches. Is the bigger pizza really a better buy? —Michael Paul Storey,
