Hi there!

I believe your answer is:

The Group Of Girls.

Here’s why:

⸻⸻⸻⸻

`\boxed{\text{Calculating the boys' percentage...}}\\\\\rightarrow (600)/(1500)\\\\\rightarrow 0.4\\\\\rightarrow 0.4 * 100\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{40\%}\\------------\\\boxed{\text{Calculating the girls' percentage...}}\\\\\rightarrow(750)/(1400)\\\\\rightarrow 0.53571428571...\\\\\rightarrow 0.53571428571... * 100\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{53.57\%}\\------------\\\\53.57\% > 40\%`

⸻⸻⸻⸻

The girls should have a higher percentage from the two.
