Answer:

She will buy at least 10 pounds or more.

Explanation:

If each pound costs $4 and she is spending $40 worth, she needs to buy 10 pounds in order to spend the minimum of $40. She can buy more than 10 pounds to keep spending more money. 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and so forth are all possible numbers in pounds she will buy.
