To find the unit cost, you divide the total cost by the total weight.
The total cost for 4 pounds of bananas is $3.16.
To find the cost per pound, you calculate:
\[
\text{Unit cost} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total weight}} = \frac{3.16}{4}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
\text{Unit cost} = 0.79
\]
So, the unit cost is $0.79 per pound.
