Answer:

$18.95

Explanation:

if you divide $11.37 by 3, you find the price for 1 pound of cherries which would look like this: 11.37 / 3 = 3.79

then you would add the price of two additional pounds of cherries to the original 3 pounds which would look like this: 11.37 + 3.79(2) = $18.95

i hope this helps :)
