Price

$3.60

$3.50



Store _____ has the better deal.

Answer 1

Answer:
Store 1 has the better deal.

Explanation:
If you divide the amount the prices by the amount of paper towel roll, you would see store 1 has the better deal.

3.60 divided by 12 = 0.30
3.50 divided by 10 = 0.35

As you can see, store 1 is less expensive than store 2. Therefore, store 1 is the better deal.
