Answer:

Let x be the discounting price of a surfing lessons per person

Let y be the discounted price of a surfing lessons per person

The cost of taking a surfing lesson and go parasailing is $130

x + y = 130--------------(i)

25 people take

Surfing lessons, and 30 people go parasailing and a total of $3,650 is collected

25x + 30y = 3650--------------(ii)

We solve for y using equ (i):

y = 130 - x ------------(iii)

Substitute equ (iii) to equ (ii) and solve for x

25x + 30(130 - x) = 3650

25x + 390 - 30x = 3650

-5x = -250

-x = 50

We solve for y using equ (iii):

y = 130 - x

y = 130 - 50

y = 80

So, the discounted price to take a surfing lesson is $50 and the discounted price to go parasailing is $80
