Answer 2

Based on the calculations, the store with the better buy is The Eyewear Shoppe

Explanation:

Jake wants to buy two pairs of a particular style of sunglasses. The sunglasses are sold at two different stores.

For The Eyewear Shoppe:

The Eyewear Shoppe sells the sunglasses for $60 but is having a “Buy 1 Pair, Get 1 Pair Free” promotion.

Based on this promotion, you can get 2 sunglasses for $60

Two sunglasses will cost = $32 × 2

= $64

Therefore, based on the above calculations, the store with the better buy is The Eyewear Shoppe
