One bag of 30 diapers costs $4.25. A box of 125 diapers costs $24.99.

which is the better buy? How much does each diaper cost?

The better deal will be the one that costs the least per diaper. With this in mind, start by calculating the individual diaper cost for both deals.

—30 diapers for $4.25
$4.25/30
≈$0.14 per diaper

—125 diapers for $24.99
$24.99/125
≈$0.20 per diaper

Therefore, the deal with 30 diapers is the better buy.
