    3.25 pounds

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Starting with 25 pounds we trim off 35%:

    25 X. 35 = 8.75 trimmed off

    This leaves 25 - 8.75 pounds of trimmed meat:

    25 - 8.75 = 16.25 of trimmed meat.

    During cooking we lose another 80% of the weight of the meat:

    16.25 X. 80 = 13 pounds "cooked off"

    So the remaining weight of meat is 16.25 - 13:

    16.25 - 13 = 3.25 pounds of trimmed cooked meat.

    How sad is that?
