@ Hi😱 ... you might need another way to occupy your time ...
To find out how many 170g bananas you can buy for 1 dollar, we need to first convert the cost of bananas into cents.
Since 1 dollar is equal to 100 cents, we can divide the cost of bananas, which is $0.98, by 0.01 to convert it into cents:
0.01 * $0.98 = 98 cents
Now, we need to divide the number of cents by the cost of each banana, which is 170g.
98 cents / 170g = 0.5765 cents/gram
To find out how many 170g bananas you can buy for 1 dollar, we'll divide the total number of cents (100) by the cost per gram (0.5765 cents/gram):
100 cents / 0.5765 cents/gram = 173.4 grams
Therefore, you can buy approximately 173 grams of bananas for 1 dollar, which is slightly more than one 170g banana.
