I have a math brain teaser that I am sure it sooo simple that I am missing it.
A man, buying steaks for his restaurant, approached a butcher. "How many steaks do you have for sale," the butcher answered, "And how much are they?" "The steaks are $6 a piece if I pick them out, "the butcher said, "and $8 a piece if you pick them out." How did the buyer get the best deal for his money?
Thank you very much for your help. I don't know how to send a thank you when you help.
Doesn't that depend upon the weights of the steaks?
You also haven't included the butcher's answer.

That was all the information I was given. I did forget to tell you the butcher answered "I have 25 steaks"
Please see my answer above.
To solve this math brain teaser, we need to analyze the pricing options provided by the butcher.
According to the butcher, if the buyer picks out the steaks, they cost $8 each. However, if the butcher picks out the steaks, they cost $6 each.
To determine how the buyer can get the best deal for his money, we must compare the two options.
Option 1: Buyer picks out the steaks
Since the buyer is picking out the steaks, they will pay $8 for each steak.
Option 2: Butcher picks out the steaks
If the butcher picks out the steaks, they cost $6 each.
To figure out which option is the best deal, we need to compare the prices per steak. Let's calculate the cost per steak for both options.
Option 1:
$8 per steak
Option 2:
$6 per steak
From the calculations, we can see that by letting the butcher pick out the steaks, the buyer gets a better deal. Therefore, the buyer should let the butcher pick out the steaks to get the best value for his money.
