To find out how many times Delon can ride the roller coaster, we first need to calculate how many tickets he has left after using the 4 tickets for the carousel.

  1. Start with the total number of tickets: \[ 37 \text{ tickets} \]

  2. Subtract the tickets used for the carousel: \[ 37 - 4 = 33 \text{ tickets left} \]

  3. Since each ride on the roller coaster uses 3 tickets, we divide the remaining tickets by the number of tickets per ride: \[ \frac{33}{3} = 11 \]

Delon can ride the roller coaster 11 times.

Therefore, the answer is 11.
