Answer:

Store B

Explanation:

Since the lowest common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6, so let's find the cost of 6 bags of chips from each store.

Store A

cost for 6 bags of chips

= 3(2.5)

= $7.50

Store B

cost for 6 bags of chips

= 2(3.25)

= $6.50

Since store B offers a cheaper price for 6 bags of chips, it offers a better deal.

Alternatively, you could work out the cost of each bag of chips for both stores.
