To calculate the median and interquartile range for the two supermarkets, we can use Desmos to input the data provided in the table. Once the data is inputted, we can then calculate the median and interquartile range for each supermarket.

Based on the Desmos calculations, the correct comparison is:
The median for Supermarket 1 is 115.75, which is greater than the median for Supermarket 2, 112.33. The interquartile range for Supermarket 2 is 70, which is greater than the interquartile range for Supermarket 1 which is 28.
