To find out how many more rides Jae can go on, we first need to determine how many tickets he has left.

  1. Calculate the tickets used: Jae bought a total of 85 tickets and has already used 37 tickets. \[ \text{Tickets remaining} = 85 - 37 = 48 \text{ tickets} \]

  2. Determine the cost of rides: Each ride costs 8 tickets.

  3. Calculate how many rides he can go on with his remaining tickets: \[ \text{Number of rides} = \frac{\text{Tickets remaining}}{\text{Cost of one ride}} = \frac{48}{8} = 6 \]

Jae can go on 6 more rides.
