The five people each spend 15 + 8 = 23 dollars.
So 5(23) = $115
Take that away from $200 and get
$200 - $115 = $85 for food and souvenirs

4 family members each pay $8 admission:
4*8 = 32
4 family members each pay $15 for a book of ride tickets:
4*15 = 60
32+60 = 92 and he has 200:
200-92 = 108 is how much he has for food and souveniers
