Easy 5+4=9+8=17 your answer is 17 :)
The equation is 2.50÷5=x
2.50÷5=.50
Mrs. Baker paid $2.50 for 5 pounds of bananas
If x=.50 per banana
Then to get the cost of 8 bananas, you would do 8×.50=$4.00
Mrs. Baker paid $4.00 for 8 pounds of bananas
Each banana costs .50 cents per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

[pay attention to the signs :)

= (0.50/3.60) * 100%
≈ 0.1389* 100%
≈ 13.89 %
≈ 13.9 %<span> to the nearest tenth.</span>
