Answer:

Store A

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide the amount of pencils needed by the amount in the packs, you can see how many packs you need. (But you have to round up because you can't buy half a pack)

So for Store A, it's 3 packs. That would total to $60

Store B also needs 3 packs, and that would be $81
