Mrs. Baker paid $2.50 for 5 pounds of bananas.

1. Write an equation relating the cost (C) to the number of pounds (p) of bananas.
2. How much would Mrs. Baker pay for 8 pounds of bananas?

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
