Answer:

The option with the best deal is 216 diapers for $39.98

Explanation:

Sally is shoping for diapers

Sally first sees a box which contains 216 diapers at $39.98

She also sees a second box with 88 diapers for $24.99

To know which option that has the best deal for diapers we have to calculate the amount of 1 diapers in each of the boxes

Box 1

216 diapers= $39.98

1 diaper= x

Cross multiply

216x= $39.98

x= 39.98/216

= 0.19 cents for 1 diapers

Box 2

88 diapers= $24.99

1 diaper= x

Cross multiply

88x= $24.99

x= 24.99/88

= 0.28 cents for 1 diaper

Hence the option with the best deal is 216 diapers for $39.98, this is because it is more cheaper.
