b be the weight of an unpeeled banana (in ounces), and
p be the weight of its peel;
so

b - p is the weight of a peeled banana (the edible part).


We know that

p = (1/8)*b = b/8, and
b = (b - p) + 7/8 = b - p + 7/8.

Thus,

b - b + p = 7/8,
p = 7/8, b/8 = 7/8, b = 7.

Therefore, the whole banana weighs 7 ounces; its peel weighs 7/8 ounces; and the peeled banana (the edible part) weighs 6 1/8 ounces.
