Consumption of Bananas per year = 5, 250, 000 metric tons
We know 1000 kg = 1 metric ton, so
Consumption of Bananas per year (in kg) = 5, 250, 000 x 1000 = 5, 250, 000, 000 kgs
Cost of Banana = $2.10 per kg
So,
Cost of all bananas = 5, 250, 000, 000 x 2.10 = $ 11,025,000,000 (per year)
Taking a year to be 365 days, let's find the cost for a day:
Since there are 317 million [317,000,000] people in the US, the cost per person every day is:
Rounding to the nearest cent,
$0.10
So, the amount (in dollars) per person every day = $0.10
Answer$0.10
