4 pounds of banas cost $1.96 how much does one pound cost

Answer 1

To find the cost of one pound of bananas, you can divide the total cost by the number of pounds.

Given that 4 pounds of bananas cost $1.96:

\[ \text{Cost per pound} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total pounds}} = \frac{1.96}{4} \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ \text{Cost per pound} = 0.49 \]

Thus, one pound of bananas costs $0.49.
