Question

Yuka buys 6 pounds of apples at $0.50 a pound. she also buys 6 pounds of bananas. altogether, the fruit costs $12.00. what is the cost per pound for the bananas?

Answer 1

Im pretty sure the answer is around $1.50 per pound.

If you take the 6 pounds of apples and you multiply that by 0.50 you get $3.00 you subtract that from 12 and you still have $9.00 left. you take the $9.00 and divide that by 6 pounds you will get $1.50 per pound of banana.
