A very good question indeed. Using dumbbells (I'm assuming you mean dumbbell bench presses) allows you to increase the weight meaning you can exert a greater force with your muscles, meaning bigger pecs. However press ups develop what is called functional strength, which is basically strength you can do in day to day tasks. Also press ups work your core. I would suggest using both to get the benefits of both

How many press ups are you allowed to do in a day?

There is no set amount of press ups that a person is allowed to do in a day. A person can do as many press ups as their body will allow them to do. You do not want to over do it because you could strain your muscles.
