The answer is f(x) = -1.25 + 64

x - number of rides

Let's go step by step:
He had 80$: f(x) = 80
He spends $4 to enter the fair: f(x) = 80 - 4
He spends $12 on food: f(x) = 80 - 4 - 12
Rides at the fair cost $1.25 per ride x: f(x) = 80 - 4 - 12 - 1.25x

f(x) = 80 - 4 - 12 - 1.25x
f(x) = 64 - 1.25x
f(x) = -1.25 + 64
