It says he HAS $21
It says he 'Bought ' a snack 

the implication is the he has $21 AFTER buying the snack. It I my guess however that the question means how many rides can he go on with the mony he has left AFTER buying the snack.

Another sloppy question construction - can only cause confusion

mrnood · Answer

if he HAS $21 and rides cost $10 then I guess you can work out how many he can go on

if he HAD $21, spent $2 then he HAS $19 - then I guess you can work out how many he can go on

I HAVE TO WRITE AND SOLVE AN INEQUALITY

mrnood · Answer

Yes - I see that - but do you know from the question whether he HAS $21, or whether he HAD $21

mrnood · Answer

number of rides he can go on is <= to integer (amount he HAS)/10
