Answer:

$38.75

Explanation:

We can add up the amount he spent before he started riding and we'll get $16. Subtract 16 from 80 which is 64. $64 dollars divided by $1.25 would be 51.2. We round down because he can't ride more then 50 rides. He would be able to ride 51 rides with the money he has. Let's say he rode 20 rides and then left the fair. We would subtract 20 from 51 and get 31. After that we would multiply 31 by 1.25 and get $38.75. So he would have $38.75 dollars after he left the fair.
