Let's take this problem step by step:

Step 1: First, the problem states that the caterer prepares four times as many pizzas as she usually prepares for a large party. It also states that she usually prepares six pizzas.

Step 2: 6 x 4 = 24

Step 3: The caterer estimates that each party guest will eat 1/4 of a pizza.

Step 4: 24 pizzas divided by 1/4 of a pizza is equivalent to 24/(1/4)

Step 5: You can take the reciprocal of 1/4 and multiply instead.

Step 6: 24 x 4 = 96

The answer is 96 party guests.

(b) f'(150) = -25 means rate of sale is negative or the number of items sold will be decreases in future
