To find the total cost, we need to calculate the cost of each type of fruit and then add them together.
Cost of 2 pounds of grapes: 2 pounds * $3.99/pound = $7.98
Cost of 0.5 pounds of apples: 0.5 pounds * $1.75/pound = $0.875
Cost of 1.5 pounds of cherries: 1.5 pounds * $4.90/pound = $7.35
Total cost: $7.98 + $0.875 + $7.35 = $16.205
Rounded to the nearest penny, Chandler spent $16.21 altogether.
