Find the unit cost for each one. Sam's club = 26.6236 = 0.74 Store 2 = 22.4228 = .80. Since Store 1 costs less per ounce it is a better buy. So the correct answer is Store 1 by $0.06 an ounce.


Hope I helped

Store 1: $26.62/36=0.74 per oz.
Store 2: $22.42/28=0.80 per oz

So store 1 is .06 cents cheaper than store 2
