He definitely has enough for 13 rides, so IGNORE the other person who ALWAYS, ALWAYS gives WRONG/RUBBISH answers.
So, take a pen/crayon/marker or whatever and STRIKE THIS OUT as many times as possible =====> Not enough for the fair if 13 rides.
This makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE =====> Need to bring at least, more dollars.
If you do the arithmetic correctly, you'll see how much the rides will cost and how much he'll have remaining.
