Apples: x pence per lb
Pears: x-5 pence perlb
But: 5x+3(x-5) = 465p
So: 5x+3x-15 = 465 => 8x = 480 and x = 60
Therefore: lb of pears cost 55p and a lb of apples cost 60p
2.99/2.5=1.196, so about $1.20 per pound of apples.

If you want to know what 17 pears cost if pears cost 89 cents each and you have the price of the pears (0.89) in column B row 2 and the number of pears (17) in column C row 2, then you could put =B2*C2 in cell D2, and that would tell you the overall cost (in dollars).If you mean something else, we need more detail of what "cost of many fruits" means.
