One pound of bananas costs 49 cents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A) Calculate the cost of 9.23 pounds of bananas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
B) If I paid $2.79, how many pounds of bananas did I buy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The correct answer and explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s solve each part step by step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A) Calculate the cost of 9.23 pounds of bananas.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We know that the cost of 1 pound of bananas is 49 cents, or $0.49. To find the cost of 9.23 pounds of bananas, we need to multiply the cost per pound by the total number of pounds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n [ [ So, the cost of 9.23 pounds of bananas is $4.52<\/strong> (rounded to the nearest cent).<\/p>\n\n\n\n B) If I paid $2.79, how many pounds of bananas did I buy?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, we want to determine how many pounds of bananas you bought for $2.79. Since each pound costs $0.49, we can use division to find the number of pounds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n [ [ So, if you paid $2.79, you bought 5.7 pounds<\/strong> of bananas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In part A, to calculate the cost for 9.23 pounds of bananas, we simply multiply the cost per pound by the number of pounds. This is a direct application of the formula for total cost:<\/p>\n\n\n\n [ In this case, the unit price is $0.49, and the quantity is 9.23 pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For part B, to determine how many pounds of bananas you could buy for a specific amount of money, we divide the total money you paid by the cost per pound. This is the inverse of the calculation in part A, using the formula:<\/p>\n\n\n\n [ By dividing $2.79 by $0.49, we get the amount of bananas you could buy, which is 5.7 pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both calculations are based on simple unit price principles, where we either multiply or divide by the cost per unit to find the total cost or the quantity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One pound of bananas costs 49 cents.
