Sergei runs a bakery. He needs at least
kilograms of flour in total to complete the holiday orders he's received. He only has
kilograms of flour, so he needs to buy more.

2) What is the smallest number of bags that Sergei can buy to get the amount of flour he needs?
1) (Choice C)
2) The smallest number of bags that Sergei can buy is the ceiling of the total amount of flour needed divided by the amount of flour in each bag. Mathematically, this can be represented as:
\[ \text{Smallest number of bags} = \lceil \frac{\text{Total amount of flour needed}}{\text{Amount of flour in each bag}} \rceil \]
