Answer:

I'm not sure if you're looking for an approximation or the exact amount, so I'll give you both. The drama club would need exactly 9.375 lbs of chocolate for the 75 orders, or 6.375 more lbs. If we round that up to the nearest pound, the club would need 10 lbs of chocolate to cover the 75 orders, with some left over. So, they would need 7 lbs more.
