Answer:

false

Step-by-step explanation:

Since in the question it is mentioned that the wages would be increased by 2% and rent would increase by 5%

So, the increased value of both is

= $450 × 1.02

=  $459

And,  

= $200 × 1.05

= $210

As the wages are increased to $9 and the rent is increased to $10 since the amount is not equivalent to each other so the given statement is false
