    Your sister

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To determine those with better deal we will have to do some calculations

    So let's start

    You bought the 3 erasers for$1.00

    So we will have to determine the amount you bought 1

    3 erasers=$1.0

    1 eraser=x

    Cross multiply

    3x=1

    X=1/3

    X=0.33333

    Your sister bought 4 erasers for $1.25

    So 1 eraser=x

    Cross multiply

    4x=1.25

    X=1.25/4

    X=0.3125

    So we will have to compare the two prices and we will discover that your sister gets the better deal
