See explanation

Explanation:

This is one of those situations where you may substitute any value in either variable as long as it fits a rather 'wide' criterion (inequality)

Let the count of rattan chairs be r at $220 each
Let the count of plastic chairs be p at $150 each

Then we have

220r+150p>3700
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Or if you prefer:

Subtract 220r from both sides

150p>3700220r

Divide both sides by 150

p>7432215r

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To plot
set p as the equivalent of y on the x,y plane
set r as the equivalent of x on the x,y plane

py
rx
