Please read below.

Explanation:

1. Let's calculate the unit price for each brand of diapers.

A. Stay-Dry: 108 diapers for US$ 25.18

Unit price = 25.18/108

Unit price = US$ 0.23

B. Uber-Soft: 180 diapers for US$ 39.14

Unit price = 39.14/180

Unit price = US$ 0.22

C. Cuddlies: 160 diapers for US$ 38.77

Unit price = 38.77/160

Unit price = US$ 0.24

D. James should advise his mom to purchase Uber-Soft diapers, because the unit price is the lowest.
