To find out how much less each carton of milk costs if the store buys 8 cartons instead of 7 cartons, we need to calculate the difference in price per carton.
For 8 cartons of milk for $24 dollars, the price per carton is 24/8 = $3.
For 7 cartons of milk for $28 dollars, the price per carton is 28/7 = $4.
Therefore, each carton of milk costs $4 - $3 = $1 less if the store buys 8 cartons instead of 7 cartons.
So the correct answer is: $1 less.
