Transcript text: 27. At the market, bananas cost $\$ 2.76$ for 4 lb .

Solution

Step 1: Understand the problem

The problem states that bananas cost \$2.76 for 4 lb. We are asked to find the unit rate, which is the cost per pound of bananas.

Step 2: Calculate the unit rate

To find the unit rate, divide the total cost by the total weight: \[ \text{Unit rate} = \frac{\$2.76}{4 \, \text{lb}} \]

Step 3: Perform the division

\[ \text{Unit rate} = \frac{2.76}{4} = 0.69 \, \text{\$/lb} \]

The unit rate is \$\boxed{0.69 \, \text{\$/lb}}\$.
