Solution

First, let's convert the total cost from pounds to pence. Since £1 is equal to 100p, £3.70 is equal to 370p.

Next, we know that each orange costs 35p. Craig buys 4 oranges, so the total cost of the oranges is: 4 oranges * 35p per orange = 140p

Now, we need to find the total cost of the bananas. The total cost of the oranges and bananas together is 370p, so the cost of the bananas is: 370p (total cost) - 140p (cost of oranges) = 230p

Craig buys 5 bananas, so the cost of each banana is: 230p (total cost of bananas) / 5 bananas = 46p

Therefore, the cost of each banana is 46p.
