Answer:

32 snorkels

Explanation:

We can see from the table that the cost of the snorkels increases by $32 for every additional snorkel ordered. This means that the cost per snorkel is $32.

To find the number of snorkels that the diving instructor ordered, we can divide the total cost ($1,024) by the cost per snorkel ($32).

$1,024 ÷ $32 = 32

Therefore, the diving instructor ordered 32 snorkels.
