Laila is laying a path down for a new driveway. The store has three types of paver stones that will work for her space. She needs to know which paver is the best price. Paver 1 costs 1.49 each, and she will need twice as many as paver 2 and half as many as paver 2. Paver 2 costs 2.50 each. Paver 3 costs 0.75. Which paver will be the best buy? Your answer should be a number
To determine which paver will be the best buy, we need to calculate the total cost for each paver.
Paver 1 costs $1.49 each and Laila needs twice as many as paver 2, and half as many as paver 2. So, if Laila needs N pavers of paver 2, she will need 2N of paver 1.
Paver 2 costs $2.50 each.
Paver 3 costs $0.75.
Let's calculate the total cost for each option:
Total cost of Paver 1 = 2N * $1.49 = $2.98N
Total cost of Paver 2 = N * $2.50 = $2.50N
Total cost of Paver 3 = N * $0.75 = $0.75N
Since we do not have the exact values of N or any additional information, we cannot determine the best buy in terms of price.
