ANSWER and EXPLANATION

We want to find the unit price for each bag and identify which one is the better buy.

The better buy is the bag that has a lesser unit price.

To find the unit price for each bag, divide the price by the size of the bag.

For the 6.08 kg bag, the unit price is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \$\frac{10.47}{6.08}\text{ per kg} \\ \\ \$1.72\text{ per kg} \end{gathered}[/tex]

For the 7.48 kg bag, the unit price is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \$\frac{13.88}{7.48}\text{ per kg} \\ \\ \$1.86\text{ per kg} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the better buy is the 6.08-kg bag.
