10%
CORRECT!
Here goes the
Solution:
The small pizza has a diameter of 8" and therefore an area proportional to 82.
The large pizza has a diameter of 14" and therefore an area proportional to 142.
If the pizzas are priced in accordance with their areas, then
Price of large pizza / Price of small pizza = (14 / 8)2 = 3.06 or
Price of large pizza = 3.06 x 3.99 = 12.2.
Thus, Discount on large pizza = [1 - (11 / 12.2)] x 100 = 10 %.
