To find out how much Lani spent on lunch meat per pound, we need to subtract the amount spent on the box of crackers from the total amount spent on groceries: $30.25 - $3.25 = $<<30.25-3.25=27>>27.
Since Lani bought 3 pounds of lunch meat, we divide the total amount spent on lunch meat by the number of pounds: $27 / 3 = $<<27/3=9>>9 per pound.
Therefore, the lunch meat cost $9 per pound. Answer: \boxed{9}.
wrong :(
Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's correct the calculation.
Lani spent $30.25 in total and $3.25 on a box of crackers, leaving $30.25 - $3.25 = $27 for the lunch meat.
Since Lani bought 3 pounds of lunch meat, the cost per pound is $27 / 3 = $<<27/3=9>>9.
Therefore, the lunch meat cost $9 per pound.
