Answer: The driver has $95.25 after the last ride.

Step-by-step explanation: First we need to know how much money he recieved from each ride. Multiply 3.5 with each number.

$3.5 x 10 = $35

$3.5 x 5.5 = $19.25

$3.5 x 19 = $91

Now add them up.

$35 + $19.25 + $91 = $145.25.

However, he spends $50 on gas. So subtract $145.25 and $91.

$145.25 - $91 = $95.25.

Therefore, the driver has $95.25 after the last ride.
