It costs you $1.96 for four pounds of bananas. Write and solve an equation to find the cost of one pound of bananas.
b = price per pound of bananas
4b= $1.96 now divide both sides by 4 and get $ .49 per pound
4 4
let say a pound of bananas = x
4 times x equals $1.96
4x = 1.96 (divide 4 from each side)
