To find out how much Chandler spent altogether, we need to calculate the cost of each type of fruit first.
The cost of 2 pounds of grapes at $3.99 per pound is 2 * $3.99 = $7.98.
The cost of .5 pounds of apples at $1.75 per pound is .5 * $1.75 = $0.875.
The cost of 1.5 pounds of cherries at $4.90 per pound is 1.5 * $4.90 = $7.35.
Now, we add up these costs to find the total amount spent: $7.98 + $0.875 + $7.35 = $16.205.
Rounded to the nearest penny, Chandler spent $16.21 altogether.
