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)/($2.50)$

$= 7$
