To find out how many souvenirs Lily would buy over 10 days, we first need to determine her rate of souvenirs purchased per day based on the 6 days she was initially on vacation.
Lily bought 24 souvenirs in 6 days, so we calculate her rate of souvenirs per day as follows:
\[
\text{Rate of souvenirs per day} = \frac{24 \text{ souvenirs}}{6 \text{ days}} = 4 \text{ souvenirs per day}
\]
Now that we know Lily buys 4 souvenirs per day, we can calculate how many souvenirs she would buy in 10 days:
\[
\text{Total souvenirs in 10 days} = 4 \text{ souvenirs per day} \times 10 \text{ days} = 40 \text{ souvenirs}
\]
Therefore, after 10 days of vacation, Lily would have bought a total of **40 souvenirs**.
