Question: Julie’s mom paid $2.70 for 5 pounds of bananas at Supermart. Mario’s mom paid $2.60 for 4 pounds of Bananas at Market One. Write a division equation for each banana purchase, and then decide which store had the better banana price
First, let's calculate the price per pound of bananas at each store. We do this by creating a division equation with the total price divided by the total pounds. For Julie's mom at Supermart: 2.70 (total cost) / 5 (total pounds) = 0.54. So, Julie's mom paid $0.54 per pound of bananas. For Mario's mom at Market One: 2.60 (total cost) / 4 (total pounds) = 0.65. So, Mario's mom paid $0.65 per pound of bananas. Based on these calculations, Supermart has better banana prices as the cost per pound is cheaper at $0.54 compared to Market One's price of $0.65 per pound.
