She buys 10 pounds of meat so that's 27.5/10 which is 2.75 2.75 is the amount she spends per pound of meat. She buys 25 pounds so the amount per pound multiplied by how many pounds she bought. 2.75 x 25 = 68.75. Hope this helped ;) If it did I'd appreciate it if you voted this as the brainliest answer
