Answer:

  (1.95 +1.65)c -0.75 = 2.49

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the fruit is the cost per pound (c) multiplied by the number of pounds, 1.95 +1.65. After $0.75 is deducted, the total cost is $2.49. The equation that says this is ...

  (1.95 +1.65)c -0.75 = 2.49

__

  3.6c = 3.24 . . . . add 0.75, simplify

  c = 0.9 . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of c

The cost of the fruit is $0.90 per pound.
