nadien can buy 12 kg turkey from her local butcher at 12kg for 42.89. The supermarket has advertised turkeys for 1.49/lb. which store has the lower price (2.2lb= 1kg)

To compare the prices of turkeys at the butcher and the supermarket, we need to convert the supermarket's price from pounds to kilograms and compare it with the butcher's price.

### 1. Butcher's Price:
- Nadien can buy 12 kg of turkey for 42.89.
- The price per kilogram at the butcher is:
  \[
  \text{Butcher's price per kg} = \frac{42.89}{12} = 3.574 \, \text{per kg}.
  \]

### 2. Supermarket's Price:
- The supermarket sells turkey for 1.49 per pound.
- Since 1 kg = 2.2 lb, the price per kilogram at the supermarket is:
  \[
  \text{Supermarket's price per kg} = 1.49 \times 2.2 = 3.278 \, \text{per kg}.
  \]

### Conclusion:
- **Butcher's price per kg**: 3.574
- **Supermarket's price per kg**: 3.278

Thus, the supermarket offers a **lower price** per kilogram.
