Answer:
<em>In the second group the individual members received a larger fraction of the prize money</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Division by Sharing</u>
A certain amount M can be evenly split among n parties by performing a division M/n.
The first group of six friends earned $45 and they split it evenly, i.e. the same amount goes to each member. Each of them received $45/6= $7.50 apiece.
The second group of four friends won the second-place prize of $35 and they split it evenly also. Each member received $35/4=$8.75.
By comparing both numbers, we see that 8.75 is a bigger fraction of 35 that 7.50 is of 45. Each member from the second-place price will receive more money than the first group.
We can conclude in the second group the individual members received a larger fraction of the prize money

Answer:
60 guests
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll say that the number of guests is n.
We're looking for the n where both of these expressions are equal:
Company A (500 set-up fee, 25 for each guest)
500 + 25 * n
Company B (200 set-up fee, 30 for each guest)
200 + 30 * n
500 + 25n = 200 + 30n
Subtract 200 from both sides.
300 + 25n = 30n
Subtract 25n from both sides.
300 = 5n
We'll reverse the sides.
5n = 300
Divide both sides by 5.
n = 300/5 = 60
Thus, both companies are equal when n is 60, or when there are 60 guests.
