Answer:

5 tables

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find the amount of money that 30 chairs will make.
If each chair is $150, then we find the amount by doing the following:

[tex]30\times150=4500[/tex]

Then, we do [tex]6800-4500=2300[/tex] to find how much more money we need to make.

[tex]2300\div550=4.\overline1\overline8[/tex]

We would have to round up to the nearest whole number, 5, to find the amount of tables we need.

Therefore, we would need at least 5 tables to meet the requirements.

Hope this helps!
