You can go on $7$ $7$ rides.

Explanation:

Total amount of money available $= $ 21.50$ $= $21.50$

The cost to enter the fair $= $ 4$ $= $4$

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

The cost for each ride $= $ 2.50$ $= $2.50$

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

$\frac{Total amount of money available (After entry fee payment)}{cost of each ride}$ $("Total amount of money available" ("After entry fee payment"))/("Cost of each ride")$

$= \frac{$ 17.50}{$ 2.50}$ $= ($17.50)/($2.50)$

$= 7$ $= 7$
