Proper formula syntax here?

What would the proper syntax be for this formula or is this even possible with formula? Hopefully, this is enough to give you the gist of what I am trying to do.

IF A1 = $B$1 then C1 = $D$1 OR IF A1 = $B$2 then C1 = $D$2 OR IF A1 = $B$3 then C1 = $D$3

Column B references items (i.e. Apple, Banana, Pear) and column D references prices ($1.20, $1.50, $0.75)

So if A1 is "Apple" then C1 is $1.20 but if A1 is "Banana" then C1 is $1.50.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

=if( a1=$b$1,c1=$d$1,if(a1=$b$2,c1=$d$2,if(a1=$b$3,c1=$d$3,"")))

Use VLOOKUP function:

=VLOOKUP(A1,$B$1:$D$3,3,0)

or in C1 =INDEX(D:D,MATCH(A1,B:B,0))
