GPT 3.5
To find the number of packs of cookies that the 10th-grade class should buy, we divide the total number of pounds needed by the weight of each pack of cookies: 25 pounds / 3.5 pounds/pack = <<25/3.5=7.142857142857143>>7.142857142857143 packs of cookies.
Since the 10th-grade class cannot buy a fraction of a pack of cookies, they should buy 8 packs. Answer: \boxed{8}.
