To calculate the cost of 5 bananas when 3 bananas cost £1.14, you can use a proportionate method based on the number of bananas.
Step 1: Find the cost of 1 banana.
£1.14 ÷ 3 = £0.38
Step 2: Multiply the cost of 1 banana by the desired quantity (5 in this case).
£0.38 × 5 = £1.90
Therefore, 5 bananas will cost £1.90.
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we first need to determine the cost of a single banana. Since 3 bananas cost £1.14, we divide the total cost (£1.14) by the number of bananas (3). This gives us the cost of 1 banana, which is £0.38.
Next, to find the cost of 5 bananas, we multiply the cost of 1 banana (£0.38) by the desired quantity (5). This yields £1.90 as the total cost of 5 bananas.
So, the answer is that 5 bananas will cost £1.90.
