Pears cost $0.99 per pound. Grapes cost $1.29 per pound. Peaches cost $1.19 per pound. You buy 3.19 pounds of pears, 1.15 pounds of grapes, and 1.92 pounds of peaches. What is your total bill?

To calculate your total bill, we need to find the cost for each type of fruit by multiplying the weight of the fruit by its price per pound, and then add the individual costs together.

### Step-by-step calculation:

1. **Cost of pears:**
   \[
   3.19 \, \text{pounds} \times 0.99 \, \text{\$/pound} = 3.1581 \, \text{dollars}
   \]

2. **Cost of grapes:**
   \[
   1.15 \, \text{pounds} \times 1.29 \, \text{\$/pound} = 1.4835 \, \text{dollars}
   \]

3. **Cost of peaches:**
   \[
   1.92 \, \text{pounds} \times 1.19 \, \text{\$/pound} = 2.2848 \, \text{dollars}
   \]

### Total bill:
\[
3.1581 + 1.4835 + 2.2848 = 6.9264 \, \text{dollars}
\]

Rounding to two decimal places (since prices are usually rounded in transactions):

\[
\boxed{6.93} \, \text{dollars}
\]

Your total bill is **$6.93**.
