Answer 2

Each one can take 7 lessons.

Explanation:

Dylan and Dusty plan to take weekly surfing lessons together.

They want to spend $100 each on new surfboards = $100 × 2

= $200

They want to spent total amount for lessons and surfboards is at most $480.

After spending on two new surfboards the money left with

= 480 - 200

= $280

The charges for 2-hours classes for surfing lessons = $20 per person

The charges for 1 hour classes for them = $20.00

With $280 they will be able to take maximum number of lessons

=
`(280)/(20)`

= 14 lessons

Each one can take 14/2 = 7 lessons.
