Answer:

Brand A costs less per diaper

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if it is the better deal, we need the cost per diaper. To find the Cost per diaper, take the total cost and divide by the number of diapers

Brand A

Cost per diaper = $38.75/ 200 = $.19375 per diaper

Brand B

Cost per diaper = $35.50/170 =.208823529 per diaper

Brand A costs less per diaper
