"Real Wages" are wages that are adjusted for inflation and rising prices. As prices rise, people are able to buy less and less with their "nominal" (aka un-adjusted) wages.
One example is gas for your car. If you make $1000 a month and gas goes up from $2.50 to $3, your un-adjusted wages stay the same (you still make $1000) but you can't buy as much of other things because your "real" wages have effectively gone down due to the price increase of gas.

Explanation:
Bob and Sally can claim an American Opportunity (AO) credit for both of their children, Del and Owen.
Del's AO credit is $2,500 (100% of the initial $2,000 qualifying expenses and 25% of the next $2,000 qualifying expenses).
Owen's AO credit is the same as Del's, $2,500.
The total American Opportunity credit claimed is $5,000 ($2,500 + $2,500)
