To find out how much 1 pound of bananas costs, you can divide the total cost by the total weight in pounds.
Total cost = $3.54
Total weight = 6 pounds
Cost per pound = Total cost / Total weight
Cost per pound = $3.54 / 6
Now, let's calculate it:
\[ \frac{3.54}{6} = 0.59 \]
So, the cost of 1 pound of bananas is $0.59.
