While shopping in England, Sally notices the cost of bananas is £2.10/kg. Sally isn't familiar with Great Britain Pounds (GBP) or kilograms, and needs to convert the unit price into dollars per pound. You may assume the conversion rate from dollars to GBP is $1 to £0.77, and there are 2.2lbs to 1kg. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answer: the unit price is $1.2 per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

In England, Sally notices the cost of bananas is £2.10/kg.

Applying the conversion rate from dollars to Great Britain Pounds (GBP),

If $1 = £0.77, then

£2.10 = 2.10/0.77 = 2.72

Applying the conversion rate from pounds to kilogram,

1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds

Therefore, the unit price in dollars per pound would be

2.72/2.2 = $1.236

Rounding up to the nearest cent, it becomes

$1.2 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

2.10/0.77=2.72$

dollar per kg

2.2/1=2.2lbs

$2.72/2.2lbs

1.239$/1lbs
