    Answer:

    After paying her suppliers, she made $4,575.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    First, you have to multiply the number of pounds purchased for the price:

    $1.29*1250=$1,612.5

    $1.50*1500=$2,250

    Now, you can add both amounts to find the total cost:

    $1,612.5+$2,250=$3,862.5

    Now, you have to find the total amount of lb purchased and determine the kg they represent given that 1 kg is equal to 2.20 lb:

    1250+1500=2750

    2.20 lb  →  1 kg

    2750 lb →    x

    x=(2750*1)/2.20= 1250 kg

    Now, you can find the total amount sold by multiplying the price per kilogram for the amount of kg:

    $6.75*1250=$8,437.5

    Finally, you have to subtract the total cost from the total amount sold:

    $8,437.5-$3,862.5=$4,575

    According to this, the answer is that after paying her suppliers, she made $4,575.
