This is a brain teaser and this is all the information you are given. I am sure that there is a simple answer, but I can't figure this out. There is no information about the weight of each steak.

Question

A man, buying steaks for his restaurant, approached a butcher. "How many steaks do you have for sale?" The butcher answered, "I have 25 steaks for sale." "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.
