    Hi

    He paid for 4 pounds of bananas with a 10$ bill. However, they gave him $4 back, so that's mean the total cost for 4 pounds of bananas was for 6 dollars. Now they ask you to find the cost for 1 pound of banana.

    4 pounds ... > $6

    1 pound ... x (x represents the cost that we are looking for)

    Cross multiply

    4x = 6

    Divide both sides by 4

    4x/4 = 6/4

    x = 1.5

    The final answer is : The cost for 1 pound of banana was for $1.5 dollars.

    Good luck!
