John will pay $8.68 for the combined cost of 1 pound of banana and 1 pound of cherries.

Let: b=cost of banana per pound and c=cost of cherries per pound

Equation 1: For 3 pounds of cherries and 2 pounds of bananas, John pays a total of $24.95.

3c + 2b =$24.95

Equation 2: The cost of bananas is $6.50 less than a pound of cherries.

b= c - $6.50

We can substitute the second equation into the first one to solve for the cost of cherries per pound.

3c + (2)(c-$6.50)= $24.95

3c + 2c -$13.00 = $24.95

5c = $24.95 + $13.00

c = $7.59

Substituting the value of c to the second equation to solve for b.

b= $7.59 - $6.50 = $1.09

The combined cost of 1 pound of banana and 1 pound of cherries is $1.09 + $7.59 or $8.68.
