To find the total amount spent by Chandler, we need to calculate the cost of grapes, apples, and cherries separately and then add them together.
The cost of grapes:
2 pounds of grapes * $3.99 per pound = $7.98
The cost of apples:
0.5 pounds of apples * $1.75 per pound = $0.88
The cost of cherries:
1.5 pounds of cherries * $4.90 per pound = $7.35
Adding the costs together:
$7.98 + $0.88 + $7.35 = $16.21
Therefore, Chandler spent $16.21 in total.
