To determine which store has the better buy for footballs, we need to compare the prices given in each response.
From the responses, we see that:
- Store 1's football costs $12, and Store 2's football costs $9.
- Store 1's football costs $3, and Store 2's football costs $9.
- Store 1's football costs $9, and Store 2's football costs $12.
- Store 1's football costs $24, and Store 2's football costs $9.
From these options:
- In the first scenario, Store 2 ($9) is cheaper than Store 1 ($12).
- In the second scenario, Store 1 ($3) is cheaper than Store 2 ($9).
- In the third scenario, Store 1 ($9) is cheaper than Store 2 ($12).
- In the fourth scenario, Store 2 ($9) is cheaper than Store 1 ($24).
To find the best buy overall, we can summarize:
- Store 2 has the better buy in the first and fourth options.
- Store 1 has the better buy in the second and third options.
The overall best buy is found in the responses where the cost is the lowest. The clear best scenario is when Store 1 sells their football for $3.
So, the answer reflects that Store 1's football at $3 is the better buy compared to Store 2's football at $9.
Final answer: Store 1 has the better buy on footballs. Store 2’s football costs $9, and Store 1’s football costs $3.
