Answer 2

D) 35 yards for $90.

Explanation:

We have been given four options and we are asked to choose the option that represents the best deal.

Let us find the cost of per yard cloth for our given choices.

A.
`\text{ Price offered by option A}=\frac{\$20}{5\text{ yards}}`

`\text{ Price offered by option A}=\frac{\$4}{\text{ yard}}`

Therefore, option A offers $4 per yard of cloth.

B.
`\text{ Price offered by option B}=\frac{\$30}{10\text{ yards}}`

`\text{ Price offered by option B}=\frac{\$3}{\text{ yard}}`

Therefore, option B offers $3 per yard of cloth.

C.
`\text{ Price offered by option C}=\frac{\$55}{20\text{ yards}}`

`\text{ Price offered by option C}=\frac{\$2.75}{\text{ yards}}`

Therefore, option C offers $2.75 per yard of cloth.

D.
`\text{ Price offered by option D}=\frac{\$90}{35\text{ yards}}`

`\text{ Price offered by option D}=\frac{\$2.57}{\text{ yard}}`

Therefore, option D offers $2.57 per yard of cloth.

Since price offered by option D is less than other option D is the best deal.
