To determine the best buy, we need to compare the cost per paver for each type.
Paver 1: $1.49 each
Paver 2: $2.50 each
Paver 3: $0.75 each
Since Laila needs twice as many paver 2 and half as many paver 3 as paver 1, we need to calculate the total cost for each.
Total cost for Paver 1 = Paver 1 cost per paver * Paver 1 quantity
Total cost for Paver 2 = Paver 2 cost per paver * Paver 2 quantity
Total cost for Paver 3 = Paver 3 cost per paver * Paver 3 quantity
Let's assume Laila needs 1 paver 1, 2 pavers 2, and 4 pavers 3 (twice as many as paver 1).
Total cost for Paver 1 = $1.49 * 1 = $1.49
Total cost for Paver 2 = $2.50 * 2 = $5.00
Total cost for Paver 3 = $0.75 * 4 = $3.00
Comparing the total costs, we can see that Paver 1 is the best buy at $1.49.
