Pizza Per Person Calculator

The Pizza Per Person Calculator helps you determine the number of pizzas needed for a group based on the number of people, desired slices per person, and the number of slices per pizza.

How the Calculator Works

1. Number of People: Enter the total number of people attending.
2. Slices Per Person: Estimate how many slices each person will eat.
3. Slices Per Pizza: Enter how many slices a typical pizza is divided into.

Calculation Formula

The formula used to calculate the total pizzas needed is:

\[ \text{Total Pizzas} = \frac{\text{Number of People} \times \text{Slices Per Person}}{\text{Slices Per Pizza}} \]

Example Scenario

For 10 people, if each person eats 3 slices and each pizza has 8 slices, the calculation is:

\[ \text{Total Pizzas} = \frac{10 \times 3}{8} = 3.75 \text{ pizzas} \]

So, you would need 4 pizzas (rounding up).
