 at the grocery store, items are usually priced per pound. In order to determine how much fruits and vegetables cost, use a calculator and a food scale to stay within your food budget. In order to demonstrate the price of fruits and vegetables, we're here at the bananas section. We see the bananas cost 68 cents per pound. Using our food scale and calculator, we're going to determine the price of how much two bananas cost. We see here, the two bananas come to 12 ounces or three quarters of a pound. In one pound, there are 16 ounces. On a food scale, you see that they divide the ounces up per pound, four being a quarter pound, eight being a half pound, 12 being three quarters of a pound and then one pound being 16 ounces. We know that one pound of bananas cost 68 cents. Therefore, if we take 68 cents times 0.75, which is three quarters of a pound, we find that two bananas comes to 51 cents. Remember, the next time you're at the grocery store, use your food scale and calculator to help you determine the price of fruits and vegetables to stay within your food budget.
