You can go on #7# rides.

Total amount of money available #= $21.50#

The cost to enter the fair #= $4#

The amount of money remaining after paying to enter the fair #= $21.50 - $4 = $17.50#

The cost for each ride #= $2.50#

The number of rides that the person can go on is equal to

#("Total amount of money available" ("After entry fee payment"))/("Cost of each ride")#

#= ($17.50)/($2.50) #

#= 7#
