Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

No, the produce company does not agree with Mr. Ciullo. There are a total of 12 months in a year and Mr. Ciullo claims that he ordered a whole number of bananas each month. Therefore, if we divide the total amount in pounds that the produce company claims that Mr. Ciullo ordered last year by the twelve months in the year then the result should be a whole number...

6,150 lbs. / 12 = 512.50 lbs.

We can see that the produce company is claiming that Mr. Ciullo ordered 512.50 pounds per month last year, which is not a whole number and therefore contradicting Mr. Ciullo's statement.
