Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The description is negative. It means that Raul cares too much about money.

Step-by-step explanation:

The underlined word here is "With dollar signs in his eyes" which means that Raul cares too much about money.

From the sentence, Alfonso knew that Raul cared too much about money and would charge him and he (Alfonso) didn't have enough money to part with, he had less than sixty cents.

It was not a positive assessment of Raul by Alfonso. When someone is described as having dollar in his eyes, it means the thinking or the view of that person is clouded or driven by money and he can go to some lengths to get the money, no matter the consequence.
