Question

How mch does he pay . PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

Since one pound of bananas cost $1.29 , multiply this cost by 1.2 to find the cost at this weight.

1.2 × $1.29 = $1.55

 

1.2 pounds of bananas costs $1.55

Answer 2

The important point of this problem is to learn how to keep the units straight.

 

And, per means a fraction --      $ / lb

 

So,  pounds  times  (dollars per pound)   results in dollars   -----     lb * $/lb  =  $

 

1.2 pounds  *  $1.29 / pound  =  price

 

Once you multiply, follow the instructions (round to the nearest cent).
