The prices ranged from $9.96 to 11.96 at Pizza Hut for 12
slices.  At Dominos the prices ranged from $5.99 to 9.99.  All
of these prices need to have 4.5% sales tax added.  Our best
price was the special at Dominos for a cost of $6.26 for 12
slices.  We enjoyed doing this survey.  Our favorite kind of
pizza is cheese.  Our graph of pizza is below.

Can you send the exact price of:
a large cheese pizza? and any other pizza?
We are ranking the prices and need the name of the pizza
and the exact price. It would also help if we knew where you
got the prices from, like Dominos or Pizza Hut.
Your graph made it easy to see what your favorite pizza was.
Thanks for sending the graph.

If you want prices on any other American fast-food chain just ask we have
them all!!
Kuwait has only one main urban area generally called Kuwait City but,
naturally it is divided into suburbs. The prices were obtained from the
Pizza Hut and Sbarros in the suburb of Salmiyah. The Pizza Hut is the
American Chain and has many outlets city-wide all with the same prices. I
think there is only one Sbarro though at the moment.

On Friday, March 3, our math group went on a walking field trip to Valentino's
Pizza in Santa Ana - a few blocks from our school in Garden Grove. We ordered
2 large pizzas - one with Canadian Bacon and Pepperoni, the other was Canadian
Bacon and Mushrooms. The price was $14 for both, including tax. For the Math
penpalj project we had to check the price of a large Cheese Pizza. The regular
price for that was $8.25, but they were having a pecial for $4.04, including
tax. The large pizza is divided into 12 slices. We thought the cheese pizza
was a good deal, but we wanted toppings. We really enjoy these projects that
give us a chance to go on a field trip to research information.
