Answer 1

To find out how much more the organic bananas would cost, we first need to find the cost of regular bananas and the cost of organic bananas for 2 1/2 pounds.

The cost of regular bananas for 2 1/2 pounds can be found by multiplying the price per pound ($0.49) by the amount in pounds (2.5):
Cost of regular bananas = $0.49/pound * 2.5 pounds
Cost of regular bananas = $1.23

The cost of organic bananas for 2 1/2 pounds can be found by multiplying the price per pound ($0.85) by the amount in pounds (2.5):
Cost of organic bananas = $0.85/pound * 2.5 pounds
Cost of organic bananas = $2.125

To find the difference in cost, we subtract the cost of regular bananas from the cost of organic bananas:
Difference in cost = Cost of organic bananas - Cost of regular bananas
Difference in cost = $2.125 - $1.23
Difference in cost = $0.895

Therefore, organic bananas would cost an additional $0.895 compared to regular bananas for 2 1/2 pounds.
