D) 14 cents

Respuesta :

Answer:

D. 14 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

At 10 feet for $7, that is 70 cents for every foot

At 20 feet for $13, that is 65 cents for every foot

At 50 feet for $28, that is 56 cents for every foot

At 100 feet for $57.50, that is 58 cents (rounded) for every foot

The best deal is 50 feet at 56 cents

The worst deal is 10 feet at 70 cents

So we do 70 - 56 = 14

So the answer is the savings per unit between the best deal and worst deal is 14 cents
