It seems that the sundae is the better choice, but we also have to factor in price. Per dollar, she gets 24/6=4 marginal utility from buying her first sundae. Regarding milkshakes that cost 4 dollars, she gets 16/4=4 marginal utility per dollar. Hence, both sweets give her the same utility per dollar and thus she is indifferent between them.
