To determine which store has the better buy for the footballs, let's break down the information you provided for each store.
- **Store 1**: The prices are as follows:
- 1 football for $12 (cost = $12/1 = $12 per football)
- 2 footballs for $24 (cost = $24/2 = $12 per football)
- 3 footballs for $36 (cost = $36/3 = $12 per football)
The cost per football at Store 1 is consistently **$12**.
- **Store 2**: Looking at the sales for store 2, we can assume similar increments as in Store 1, although the values are not given. If Store 2 also had the same costs, or if they are provided with other pricing to compare, let’s assume some prices for calculation sake.
If Store 2 offers:
- 1 football for a different price (let's say $10)
- 2 footballs for a total of $18 (cost = $18/2 = $9 per football)
- 3 footballs for a total of $24 (cost = $24/3 = $8 per football)
In this scenario, the price per football decreases with more purchases at Store 2, making them the better buy.
However, without specific prices for Store 2, we can only confirm that Store 1 has a consistent price of **$12** per football. If you provide the prices for Store 2, I can help you calculate which store has the better buy based on those specifics.
