To find out how many lessons Melissa took, we can divide the total amount her mom paid by the cost of each lesson.
Given:
- Total cost for lessons = $327.50
- Cost per lesson = $65.50
We can calculate the number of lessons by using the formula:
\[
\text{Number of lessons} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Cost per lesson}}
\]
Substituting the values:
\[
\text{Number of lessons} = \frac{327.50}{65.50}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
\text{Number of lessons} = 5
\]
Therefore, Melissa took **5 lessons**.
