Step-by-step explanation:

20.00 - 8.00 = 12.00

1.25 × 9 = 11.25

leftover change is 0.75

The maximum number of rides you can go on are 9.

What is a equation?

"An equation can be defined as a mathematical statement consisting of an equal symbol between two algebraic expressions that have the same value. The most basic and common algebraic equations in math consist of one or more variables. For instance, 3x + 5 = 14 is an equation, in which 3x + 5 and 14 are two expressions separated by an ‘equal’ sign.  In an algebraic equation, the left-hand side is equal to the right-hand side."

Given,

The admission fee to the country fair is [tex]\$8.00[/tex]

And the cost of each ride is = [tex]\$1.25[/tex]

The total number of money that he has = [tex]\$20.00[/tex]

So the number of rides in $20.00 will be

[tex]\$(20.00 - 8)/1.25\\ = 12/1.25 = 9.6[/tex]

Hence, the number of rides that he can go in $20.00 will be 9.
