22 chairs at $150 each means $3300.

That leaves $7200-$3300 = $3900 for the minimum cost of tables that must be sold.

$3900 at $550 each for the tables means at least 6 tables.

With 22 chairs sold, the maximum number of tables sold is 32-22 = 10.

So the number of tables that can be sold to meet all the requirements is 6 to 10, inclusive.
