Ms. Garcia's homeroom because 28•3=84 and that means that since it said that her class sold 98 magazine subscriptions, it means that some students sold more.

And in Mr. Brown's class 24•3=72 so each student in his class only sold 3 magazine subscriptions each and no one sold more.

So, the answer is Ms. Garcia's Homeroom.
