Answer: 153 trays

Explanation:

hotdogs =153

Hamburger = 171

Mike is to put the same number of hamburger and hotdogs in each plate.

we assume that a whole number of each food is placed in each tray.

The maximum amount of trays will be determined by the minimum food which is hotdog, so, the hotdog is the constraint.

Mike will have to use 153 trays.
