John will need 34 more tickets to be able to go on all the rides he wants

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we need to first of all know the total cost in terms of tickets of all the rides that john wants to have.

This will be

cost of roller coaster ride = 19 tickets

cost of bumper car ride = 3 tickets

cost of merry-go-round ride = 33 tickets

Total cost of rides = 19 + 3 + 33 = 55 tickets

Next, we will need to find the number of tickets that John has left after losing 10 of them.

This will be 31 - 10 = 21 tickets left

To find the number of more tickets that John needs, we will subtract the number of tickets he has left from total ride ticket cost.

This will be 55-21 = 34 tickets.

Hence, John will need 34 more tickets to be able to go on all the rides he wants
