Answer:

She would save $2

Explanation:

We can solve how much 144 sodas will cost in each place, and then compare the difference between them.

[Solving]

144 sodas are needed in total.

Price Co is 36 diet sodas for 10 dollars.

-> 144 / 36 = 4

-> 4 * $10 = $40 at Price Co

Save More is 24 diet sodas for 7 dollars.

-> 144 / 24 = 6

-> 6 * $7 = $42 at Save More

[Compare differences]

$42 - $40 = $2

-> She would save $2 by purchasing the drinks at Price Co.
