Answer:

The first store, the one with 7 apples for 5.46 has a better deal.

Explanation:

To be able to more easily compare the 2 prices, we need to find the price for one apple at each store. To do this, we can divide the price by the number of apples in each equation.

5.46/7=.78

3.95/5=.79

.78<.79 so the first store has a better deal.

Hope this helps!
