I would guess $7.50 as 10 dollars for 4 pounds would mean 1 pound for 2.50 dollars. 2.50 times 3 equals 7.50.

Answer: $7.5

Explanation:

To find the answer, simply divide 10 by 4 to get 2.5, and that is the amount of money it costs per pound. Now, multiply that by 3 and get 7.5. And that is your answer!

Let me know if you need me to expand on it a bit more.

Hope this helps! :)
