Bananas are sold by the bunch, so the only number that matters is the one you actually picked up. A medium supermarket banana lands near 118 grams with the skin on.
The peel is roughly a third of the total, which is why the figure in a recipe and the figure on a scale rarely agree. Recipes almost always mean the peeled weight.
