Answer 1

help please!!

Answer 2

First you need to find the amount of people who have only rented chairs. Out of a total of 125 chair rented, 72 were rented along with umbrellas. So:

125 - 72 = c

With c as the number of customers renting chairs only. Subtract that from the number of total customers with this equation:

150 - c = x

And you have the answer.
