To determine which homeroom sold more magazine subscriptions per student, we need to calculate the average number of magazine subscriptions sold per student for each homeroom.

In Mr. Brown's homeroom, there are 24 students who sold a total of 72 magazine subscriptions. Therefore, the average number of magazine subscriptions per student in Mr. Brown's homeroom can be calculated by dividing the total number of subscriptions (72) by the number of students (24):

Average subscriptions per student in Mr. Brown's homeroom = 72 / 24 = 3 subscriptions/student.

Similarly, in Mrs. Garcia's homeroom, there are 28 students who sold 98 magazine subscriptions. To find the average subscriptions per student in Mrs. Garcia's homeroom, we divide the total number of subscriptions (98) by the number of students (28):

Average subscriptions per student in Mrs. Garcia's homeroom = 98 / 28 ≈ 3.5 subscriptions/student.

Comparing the two averages, we find that Mrs. Garcia's homeroom sold more magazine subscriptions per student. Each student in her homeroom sold an average of 3.5 magazine subscriptions, while in Mr. Brown's homeroom, each student sold an average of only 3 magazine subscriptions.
