Maya bought 6 lb of bananas for 3.54 how much does 1 lb of banana cost

1 answer

To find the cost of 1 pound of bananas, you can divide the total cost by the number of pounds.

Maya bought 6 lb of bananas for $3.54, so:

\[ \text{Cost per lb} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of pounds}} = \frac{3.54}{6} \]

Calculating that:

\[ \frac{3.54}{6} = 0.59 \]

So, the cost of 1 lb of bananas is $0.59.
