The cost per square inch is found by dividing the cost by the area. Subtract 2 from the cost of the small pizza to account for the coupon. Small: $(8-2)\div78.5=6\div78.5=0.076$ Medium: $10\div113.04=0.088$ Large: $12\div153.86=0.078$ The small is the best buy because it has the lowest cost per square inch.
