Laila needs to compare the prices of the pavers in terms of the price per unit.
Paver 2 costs $2.50 each.
She needs twice as many pavers as paver 2, so she will need 2 * $2.50 = $<<2*2.50=5>>5 worth of pavers.
Paver 3 costs $0.75 each.
She needs half as many pavers as paver 3, so she will need 0.5 * $0.75 = $<<0.5*0.75=0.375>>0.375 worth of pavers.
Paver 1 costs $1.49 each.
Therefore, the best buy would be paver 3, as it will cost less than paver 1 and paver 2.

the answer is 2
Apologies for the confusion in the previous response. I made an error in the calculation.
To determine the best buy, we need to compare the prices per unit for each type of paver.
Paver 1 costs $1.49 each.
Paver 2 costs $2.50 each.
Paver 3 costs $0.75 each.
Since there is no information given about the quantity of each paver needed, we cannot directly compare the prices. Additional information is required to determine the best buy.
