To solve this problem, we need to find the cost per pound of apples.
To find the cost per pound, we divide the total cost by the number of pounds: $5.25 / 3 pounds = $1.75 per pound.
To find the cost of 10 pounds, we multiply the cost per pound by the number of pounds: $1.75 per pound * 10 pounds = $17.50.
Therefore, 10 pounds of apples will cost $17.50.
