    She needs $11.25 for only 5 rides

    She need $26,75 total to go for 5 rides including all other expenses.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Total Amount she have = $25

    Let

    Cost of each rides = x

    According to given condition

    Cost of 8 rides = Total amount she have - admission cost

    8x = $25 - $7

    8x = $18

    x = $18 / 8

    x = $2.25

    So, each ride cost $2.25

    Cost of 5 rides = 5 x

    Cost of 5 rides = 5 x $2.25

    Cost of 5 rides = $11.25

    Total amount she needed = Cost of 5 rides + admission fee + carnival games cost + Snacks cost = $11.25 + $7 + (2 x $3) + $2.5 = $26.75
