Solution

First, let's calculate the cost of the wallpaper from each shop.

Chic Decor: They sell 3 rolls for £36. Jo needs 15 rolls, so she will need to buy 5 sets of 3 rolls. £36 x 5 = £180

Style Papers: They sell a pack of 5 rolls at a normal price of £70, but currently, they are offering a 12% discount. First, let's calculate the discount amount: £70 x 12/100 = £8.4 So, the discounted price for a pack of 5 rolls is £70 - £8.4 = £61.6 Jo needs 15 rolls, so she will need to buy 3 packs. £61.6 x 3 = £184.8

Comparing the two, Chic Decor offers the 15 rolls for £180 while Style Papers offers them for £184.8. Therefore, Jo should buy the wallpaper from Chic Decor as it is cheaper.
