Final answer:
The question asks to compare the costs of buying painting kits plus additional paintbrushes from two stores. The pricing information of one store is provided although necessary data about the second store is missing or flawed which makes direct comparison impossible.
Explanation:
This question is focused on comparing the cost-effectiveness when buying painting kits plus additional paintbrushes between two stores. However, there seem to be missing components of the data for Store 2, which makes it hard for a direct comparison with Store 1.
From the provided info regarding Store 1, we know that each painting kit costs $12.50 and an additional paintbrush costs $0.75. Therefore, if a customer wishes to buy a painting kit with one paintbrush, the total cost at Store 1 would be $13.25.
In order to make a direct comparison, we would need similar data for Store 2 - price of a painting kit and cost of an additional paintbrush. Unfortunately, that information is not provided correctly in this question. The provided table seems to be flawed, fragmented and has nothing to do with painting kits or paintbrushes at all.
