First, we need to determine how much money Dylan has left after he spends on food and admission.
1. **Calculate the total spent on food and admission**:
- Food: $5
- Admission: $7
- Total spent = $5 + $7 = $12
2. **Subtract the total spent from the initial amount**:
- Initial amount: $35
- Amount left after food and admission = $35 - $12 = $23
3. **Next, we find out how many rides he can afford**:
- Cost per ride: $1.85
- Number of rides = Amount left / Cost per ride
\[
\text{Number of rides} = \frac{23}{1.85} \approx 12.43
\]
Since Dylan can only go on a whole number of rides, he can go on **12 rides**.
Hence, the answer is **12**.
