Answer:

50 feet for $28.00 is the best deal because it offers rope $0.56 per feet.

Explanation:

To know what is the best deal on rope, we calculate the price for 1 feet rope from the given deals.

A) 10 feet for $7.00

1 feet = 7.00 ÷ 10 = $0.70

B) 20 feet for $13.00

1 feet = 13.00 ÷ 20 = $0.65

C) 50 feet for $28.00

1 feet = 28 ÷ 50 = $0.56

D) 100 feet for $57.50

1 feet = 57.50 ÷ 100 = $0.575

Option C) 50 feet for $28.00 offers lowest price, so this is the best deal.

It all just depends on how much it cost per foot, how much you need, the durability of the rope its self... I don’t see any numbers but if you put some numbers I can help lol
