Answer 1

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

1. Cost of grapes:

   • Price per pound: $3.99
   • Quantity: 2 pounds
   • Total cost for grapes = 2 pounds × $3.99/pound = $7.98

2. Cost of apples:

   • Price per pound: $1.75
   • Quantity: 0.5 pounds
   • Total cost for apples = 0.5 pounds × $1.75/pound = $0.875

3. Cost of cherries:

   • Price per pound: $4.90
   • Quantity: 1.5 pounds
   • Total cost for cherries = 1.5 pounds × $4.90/pound = $7.35

Now, we add all the costs together: \[ \text{Total cost} = \text{Cost of grapes} + \text{Cost of apples} + \text{Cost of cherries} \] \[ \text{Total cost} = 7.98 + 0.875 + 7.35 \] \[ \text{Total cost} = 7.98 + 0.875 + 7.35 = 16.205 \]

Now, rounding to the nearest penny: \[ \text{Total cost} \approx 16.21 \]

Thus, Chandler spent $16.21 altogether.
