The sentence "Como quieres pagar por eso" in Spanish translates to "How do you want to pay for that?" in English. The phrase "por eso" can indeed be translated as "that's why" or "therefore," but in this context, it means "for that."

To better understand the sentence, let's break it down:

- "Como" means "how."
- "quieres" means "do you want."
- "pagar" means "to pay."
- "por" means "for."
- "eso" means "that."

So, when we put it all together, the sentence is asking "How do you want to pay for that?"

If you are referencing a book that states "por eso" means "that's why" or "therefore," it might be giving you a more general translation of the phrase. However, in this specific sentence, it translates to "for that." It's essential to consider the context in which a word or phrase is used as translations can vary based on the situation.
