We wish to find the number of quarts per person, which we realize will be a fractional amount. In the first instance, the fraction is 4/3, or 1 1/3 quart per person. The second group is 3/4, or 0.75 quarts per person. This is less.
An even easier explanation is that 3 friends splitting 4 quarts means each gets a quart of their own, plus a third of the remaining quart. Four friends divvying up three quarts can't even make a whole quart for each. The three have to put a quarter of the quart into a container for the fourth to enjoy equal shares.

4 I think
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
110
Step-by-step explanation:
Set hamburgers<em> </em>as <em>h,</em>
salted pretzels as <em>p</em>,
hot dogs as <em>d.</em>
h+p+d=144
(3.00)h+(2.25)p+(2.00)d=354.25
=>3h+2.25p+2d=354.25
we also know (2.00)d=82 => d=41
We make 3h+2.25p+2d=354.25 => 3h+2.25p=272.25
and h+p+d=144 => h+p=103
Set h=p-103
Substitution
3(p-103)+2.25p=272.25
3p-309+2.25p=272.25
(5.25)p=581.25
p=581.25/5.25=110.7142857
We round down =>110.
