Answer:

The circular pizza is cheaper because you pay less money for a unit area of the pizza

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

The dimension of the square pizza is

24 X 24 cm

The area is

= 576cm^2

Also, the dimension of the circular pizza is

DIameter = 30cm

radius = 30/2 = 15cm

The area is

= πr^2

=3.142*15^2

=706.95cm^2

Step two:

let us find the cost per area of each of the shape of the pizzas

For the square pizza the cost per area is

= 7350/576

=$12.76 per area

For the circular pizza, the cost per area is

= 7350/706.95

=$10.40 per area
