Solution
To determine which is the better buy, we need to calculate the price per kilogram for each bag of rice.
-
For the 4-kilogram bag of rice: Divide the total price of the bag by the number of kilograms. 2.53 per kilogram
-
For the 19-kilogram bag of rice: Similarly, divide the total price of the bag by the number of kilograms. 1.17 per kilogram
So, the 19-kilogram bag of rice is the better buy because it costs less per kilogram.
