Per kilo vs by the kilo
Hello, everybody.
I'm struggling with the expressions "by the kilo" and "per/a kilo".
For example, if I want to buy some flour for my restaurant, should I ask the supplier: "How much is it by the kilo?" or "How much is it per kilo?" ... or neither, maybe.
Moreover: "How much do you sell it a kilo/per kilo/by the kilo?"
I'm a little surer about the answer, which should be: "Flour is Xp. a kilo/per kilo".
Right?
Thank you very much
