Answer 1

Based on the information provided regarding the costs from Store 1, we have:

• The cost of 1 football from Store 1 is $12.
• The cost of 2 footballs is $24.
• The cost of 3 footballs is $36.

From this, we can determine the cost per football at Store 1:

• Cost for 1 football: $12
• Cost for 2 footballs: $12 each
• Cost for 3 footballs: $12 each

We still need the cost from Store 2 to make the comparison. However, it seems like Store 2's cost is mentioned as $9. If Store 2 sells footballs at $9 each, we can determine which store has the better deal:

• Store 1: $12 per football
• Store 2: $9 per football

Since $9 (Store 2) is less than $12 (Store 1), Store 2 clearly offers the better buy.

Given the options, the correct answer is:

Store 2 has the better buy on footballs. Store 1’s football costs $12, and Store 2’s football costs $9.
