Dominos 555 Deal verses 777 deal (Part 2 of 2)

Size of the 14 inch pizza (large) = pi * (7^2) = 153.93804 square inches
Size of the 12 inch pizza (medium) = pi * (6^2) = 113.097336 square inches.

153.93804 - 113.097336 = 40.840704 square inches less per pizza 555 deal compared to the 777 deal.

40.840704 * 3 = 122.522112 square inches total missing in the 555 deal verses the 777 deal.

If you take the amount missing from the 555 deal and divide by the total square inches in the 777 deal you get the following...
122.522112/461.81412 = 0.265306119
0.265306119 * 100% = 26.53% less pizza in the 555 deal verses the 777 deal.

$7 * 3 = $21
$5 * 3 = $15

It is $6 cheaper to get the 555 deal... so lets find out what percentage cheaper that is...
6/21 = 0.285714286
0.285714286 * 100% = 28.57%

So, the conclusion is the 555 deal cost 28.57% less than the 777 deal, but you only lose 26.53% of the pizza... therefore making the 555 deal a better deal, but not by much.

Just to hit it home... here is the price per square inch for each deal indicating the 555 deal gets you the most pizza for your money. Enjoy!
555 deal - $15 / 339.2920 sq. in. = 0.0442 ~ 4.4 cents per square inch
777 deal - $21 / 461.814 sq. in. = 0.0454 ~ 4.5 cents per square inch
444 deal - $12 / 235.6194 sq. in. = 0.0509 ~ 5.1 cents per square inch

**UPDATE**
I've been told that they actually charge $5.55 per pizza for the 555 and $7.77 for the 777... that would change the math a bit... see the following...

555 deal - $16.65 / 339.2920 sq. in. = 0.0442 ~ 4.907 cents per square inch
777 deal - $23.31 / 461.814 sq. in. = 0.0454 ~ 5.047 cents per square inch
444 deal - $12 / 235.6194 sq. in. = 0.0509 ~ 5.1 cents per square inch

It still leaves the 555 deal as the best option, with the 777 in second place, but the margins are not as big. Thanks!

Dominos 444 Deal verses 555 deal (Part 1 of 2)

The claim is that the new Domino's Pizza deal of 444 is a 'Recession-Buster' deal... lets find out...

The area of a pizza is calculated by 3.14 (pi) * radius squared...

Size of the 10 inch pizza = pi * (5^2) = 78.5398163 square inches

Size of the 12 inch pizza (medium) = pi * (6^2) = 113.097336 square inches.

So there are 34.5575197 square inches less per pizza in the 444 deal.
34.5575197 * 3 = 103.672559 square inches total missing in the 444 deal verses the 555 deal.

If you take the amount missing from the 444 deal and divide by the total square inches in the 555 deal you get the following...
103.672559 / 339.292008 = 0.305555559
0.305555559 * 100% = 30.555555559% less pizza in the 444 deal verses the 555 deal.

$5 * 3 = $15 for the 555 deal.
$4 * 3 = $12 for the 444 deal.

It is $3 cheaper to get the 444 deal... so lets find out what percentage cheaper that is...
3 / 15 = .2
.2 * 100% = It costs 20% less to get the 444 deal...

IT'S A SCAM! You pay 20% less for 30% less pizza! It's a better deal to do the 555 deal! They also have a 777 deal... I have not done the math on that one yet, but be looking for a later post to find out if it's a better deal than the 555 deal.

Pancakes for Dinner night!

Tonight was pancakes for dinner night! I took some lovely shots with my camera phone of me making the pancakes. I recommend you check how much batter you have left before you decide to declare it "pancakes for dinner night". See the size of those pancakes...(kinda small) we were only able to make 4 that size, and 1 tiny one... Bummer eh, but they still were delicious! Be sure to join us next time when we have a brand new box of pancake batter.
