Answer:

6 rides

Step-by-step explanation:

Chester has less than $25 to spend at the county fair.

The entrance fee is $5, and each ride cost $3.

The number of rides, r that Chester can go on is represented by the inequality 3r + 5 < 25

3r < 25 - 5

3r < 20

r < [tex]\frac{20}{3}[/tex]

r < 6.66

r < 6 rides.

Chester can go on 6 rides without overspending.
