Maika purchased 3 pounds of bananas to make banana bread.

She paid $2.70 for the 3 pounds banana.

We want to know how much she paid for one pound of banana.

Let one pound of banana be B

The 3B = 2.70

To find the value of B, divide both sides by 3

3B/3 = 2.70/3

B = 0.9

One pound of banana is $0.9
