For both of the contests, the variable is the number of competitors which we can set as x.
Consequently, the equation should be 5.50x+34.60=4.25x+64.60
5.50x=4.25x+30
1.25x=30
x=24
The fee of the contests is the same when there are 24 competitors
37/3 ^2 = 1369/9
15/2 ^2 = 225/4
1369/9 + 225/4 = 7501/36
sqaureroot of 7501/36 = 14.43
so closest to B. 14 3/5
