store one has 15 rolls for 3.60 so divide it answer will be .24 per roll. store 2 has 18 rolls for 3.80. divide it up answer is .21 per roll. so store 2 is the answer.

Answer:

store 1 has the better deal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two stores offer differently prices sales for the same paper towels.

Store 1  sells 15 paper towel rolls at the price = $3.60

The price of one paper towel roll = @@MATH_TOKEN_0@@ = $4.1666 ≈ $4.17

Store 2 sells 18 paper towel rolls at the price = $3.80

The price of one paper towel roll =  \(\frac{18}{3.80}\) = 4.7368 ≈ $4.74

Store 1 sells at $4.17 per paper towel and store 2 sells each towel at $4.74.

Therefore store 1 has the better deal.
