Hi M7MBA,

We're told that a large pizza has a radius that is 30% larger that that of a medium pizza. We're asked for the percent increase in AREA between a medium and a large pizza. This question can be solved by TESTing VALUES.

IF....
The radius of a medium pizza is 10, then it's area = (pi)(10^2) = 100pi....
then the radius of a large pizza would be 13, so it's area = (pi)(13^2) = 169pi....

Percentage Change = (New - Old)/(Old) = (169pi - 100pi)/(100pi) = 69/100 = a 69% increase in area

Final Answer: D

Hello M7MBA.

Let's suposse that the radius of the medium pizza is equal to r. This implies that the radius of the large pizza is r+0.3r=1.3r.

Now, the area of the medium pizza is $$\pi\cdot r^2$$ and the radius of the large pizza is $$\pi\cdot (1.3r)^2=1.69\pi\cdot r^2.$$ Therefore, the difference between them is $$1.69\pi\cdot r^2 - \pi\cdot r^2\ =\ 0.69\pi\cdot r^2.$$ Now, we have to find what percent represents this to the area of the medium pizza.

$$\pi\cdot r^2----------100\%$$ $$0.69\pi\cdot r^2----------x\%$$ Hence $$x=69\%.$$ Thus, the answer is d .

We can let the radius of the medium pizza = 10, and thus the radius of the large pizza = 13. Therefore, we have:

Area of medium pizza = 100Ï€

Area of large pizza = 169Ï€

Using the percent change formula: (New - Old)/Old x 100, we obtain:

(169Ï€ - 100Ï€)/100Ï€ x 100 = 69/100 = 69%

Answer: D
