Solution

The correct option is C both will be same
Cost of renting x tables from each agency is given as:

Total budget = $1550
Number of tables provided by Agency 1 for $1550:
5.25x + 500 = 1550
5.25x = 1550 - 500
5.25x = 1050
x = 200

Similarly,
Number of tables will be provided Agency 2 for $1550:
6x + 350 = 1550
6x = 1550 - 350
6x = 1200
x = 200

Hence, both the agencies provide the same number of tables in the given budget.
