Answer: 7 bundles.

Explanation:

The cost per bundle is $75.

The cost for shipping is $42.50

She spent $567.50 in total.

The shipping is paid only one time, as all the bundles can be packaged togheter.

Then after paying the shipping, the left spent is:

$567.50 - $42.50 = $525

And each bundle costs $75, then the number of bundles that she bought will be equal to the number of times that we have $75 in $525. This is equal to the quotient between $525 and $75.

N = $525/$75 = 7

She bought 7 bundles
