Solution

To determine which is the better buy, we need to calculate the price per kilogram for each bag of rice.

  1. For the 4-kilogram bag of rice: Divide the total price of the bag by the number of kilograms. 10.11÷4=10.11 ÷ 4 = 2.53 per kilogram

  2. For the 19-kilogram bag of rice: Similarly, divide the total price of the bag by the number of kilograms. 22.23÷19=22.23 ÷ 19 = 1.17 per kilogram

So, the 19-kilogram bag of rice is the better buy because it costs less per kilogram.
