Answer:

the book store selling 7 books for $39.55 (the book store)

Explanation:

we have to calculate what each book costs. to find out what each book costs, we have to use division...

so for the book store:

39.55 / 7 = 5.65 - this means that each book costs $5.65 by itself

for the online store:

24.96 / 3 = 8.32 - this means that each book costs $8.32 by itself

now we have to compare the prices... $5.65 costs less than $8.32, so the book store would have a lower unit price.
