Answer: Each person will pay $2.34.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Cost of one pound of cherries = $1.30

Cost of [tex]7\dfrac15[/tex] pounds of cherries  = [tex]7\dfrac15\times 1.30[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{36}{5}\times1.30[/tex]

= $9.36

Each person will pay = (Cost of [tex]7\dfrac15[/tex] pounds ) ÷ 4

[tex]=9.36\div4[/tex]

=$2.34

Hence, Each person will pay $2.34.
