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 ?
"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 0.64 x = 176 x = 176 / 0.64 = $ 2.75 the answer is d ."
divide(1.76, add(multiply(const_0_25, const_2), multiply(const_0_33, const_1)))
