To determine the best buy, we need to compare the cost per paver for each option.

1) For paver 1, it costs $1.49 per paver.
2) For paver 2, she needs twice as many as paver 1, so she would need 2 * $1.49 = $2.98 worth of pavers. Thus, paver 2 costs $2.50 per paver.
3) For paver 3, she needs half as many as paver 1, so she would need 0.5 * $1.49 = $0.745 worth of pavers. Thus, paver 3 costs $0.75 per paver.

Comparing the costs, paver 1 costs $1.49, paver 2 costs $2.50, and paver 3 costs $0.75 per paver. Therefore, paver 3 is the best buy as it has the lowest cost per paver.
