A customer purchased a package of ground beef at a cost of $1.76 per pound. For the same amount of money, the customer could have purchased a piece of steak that weighed 36 percent less than the package of ground beef. What was the cost per pound of the steak?	Choices: A) $2.00 B) $2.25 C) $2.50 D) $2.75 E) $3.00
For simplicity, let's assume the customer bought 1 pound of ground beef for $1.76.   Let x be the price per pound for the steak.   Then 0.64x = 176   x = 176/0.64 = $2.75   The answer is $2.75.
