**** **You should charge $1.50 because 1lb = 50cents. 3lb = $1.50.

The total cost of the bunch of bananas is calculated by multiplying the price per pound by the total weight. With the bananas costing 50¢ per pound and weighing 3 pounds, the charge will be $1.50. Therefore, you should charge the customer $1.50.
