Consumption of Bananas in a year = 5.25 million metric tons [5,250,000]
We know 1000 kg = 1 metric ton, So, the consumption of bananas, in kgs will be:
[tex]5,250,000\times1000=5,250,000,000\operatorname{kg}[/tex]The cost of 1 kg of bananas is $2.10
So, the total cost would be:
[tex]5,250,000,000\operatorname{kg}\times\$2.10\/kg=\$11,025,000,000[/tex]Thus, the amount of money the US will spend on bananas this year:
$11, 025, 000, 000
