The problem in the image asks the following:

"A student pays for 8.8 pounds of apples with a $10 bill. How much change does the student receive?"

To solve this:

1. **Find the total cost of 8.8 pounds of apples.** 
   The price per pound of apples is $0.98, so:
   \[
   \text{Total cost} = 8.8 \times 0.98
   \]

2. **Subtract the total cost from $10** to find how much change the student should receive.

Now let's calculate this:

\[
\text{Total cost} = 8.8 \times 0.98 = 8.624 \, \text{dollars}
\]
The student gave $10, so the change is:
\[
\text{Change} = 10 - 8.624 = 1.376 \, \text{dollars}
\]
Thus, the student will receive approximately **$1.38** in change.
