Answer:

Jagdeeep

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that Asmaa bought the socks at store A, and Jagdeeep bought socks at store B.

________________________________________________________

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Asmaa bought 3 pairs for 9.96

To find the cost of one pair, you divide 9.96 by 3

9.96 ÷ 3 = 3.32

Each pair of socks at Store A costs 3.32

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jagdeep bought 5 pairs for 14.75

To find the cost of one pair, you divide 14.75 by 5

14.75 ÷ 5 = 2.95

Each pair of socks at Store B costs 2.95

2.95 < 3.32, store B had a better deal.

Jagdeeep got a better deal.
