Answer 2

Mr. Bonilla paid $5.76 for the pears and apples.

Explanation:

Pears cost $0.92 per pound and apples cost $1.10 per pound.

Mr. Bonilla bought 3.75 pound of pears and 2.1 pounds of apples.

Cost of pears =
`0.92*3.75=3.45` dollars

Cost of apples =
`1.10*2.1=2.31` dollars

Total cost of both =
`3.45+2.31=5.76` dollars

Therefore, Mr. Bonilla paid $5.76 for the pears and apples.
