Amanda bought 4 pounds of bananas for $3.16. What is the unit cost?

Answer 1

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.
