The rate of change in this situation represents the amount by which the cost per person increases or decreases for each additional person.
To find the rate of change, we need to compare the cost per person for two different group sizes. Let's say the cost per person for a group of size 1 is $x, and the cost per person for a group of size 2 is $y.
The rate of change is then given by (y - x)/(2 - 1), as the change in cost per person (y - x) is divided by the change in group size (2 - 1).
Looking at the options:
A. 1/55 -> This means that for each additional person, the cost per person increases by 1/55.
B. 110/1 -> This means that for each additional person, the cost per person increases by 110.
C. 1/275 -> This means that for each additional person, the cost per person increases by 1/275.
D. 55/1 -> This means that for each additional person, the cost per person increases by 55.
Among these options, the rate of change that is constant (indicating a constant increase or decrease in cost per person for each additional person) is option C: 1/275.

ITS WRONG!
I apologize for the incorrect response. Let's revisit the problem to find the correct rate of change.
Let's assume the cost per person for a group of size 1 is $x, and for a group of size 2 is $y.
The rate of change is then given by (y - x)/(2 - 1), as the change in cost per person (y - x) is divided by the change in group size (2 - 1).
We do not have the specific values for x and y or the corresponding prices for different group sizes, so we cannot determine the correct rate of change from the given options without this information.
I apologize for any confusion caused.
