Answer 1

To find out how much Chandler spent altogether, we need to calculate the total cost for each type of fruit and then sum those amounts.

1. Cost of grapes: \[ 2 \text{ pounds} \times $3.99 \text{ per pound} = 2 \times 3.99 = 7.98 \]

2. Cost of apples: \[ 0.5 \text{ pounds} \times $1.75 \text{ per pound} = 0.5 \times 1.75 = 0.875 \]

3. Cost of cherries: \[ 1.5 \text{ pounds} \times $4.90 \text{ per pound} = 1.5 \times 4.90 = 7.35 \]

Now, we sum these amounts: \[ \text{Total} = \text{Cost of grapes} + \text{Cost of apples} + \text{Cost of cherries} \] \[ \text{Total} = 7.98 + 0.875 + 7.35 = 16.205 \]

Rounding to the nearest penny, Chandler spent: \[ \text{Total} \approx 16.21 \]

Thus, the correct answer is $16.21.
