Answer 1

To find out how many tickets Joseph can buy, we need to subtract the cost of the hat from the total amount he has.

Total amount he has: $34.25
Cost of the hat: $12.50

Amount remaining after buying the hat: $34.25 - $12.50 = $21.75

Now, we need to divide the remaining amount by the cost of each ticket.

Cost of each ticket: $7.25

Number of tickets Joseph can buy: $21.75 / $7.25 = 3 tickets

So, Joseph can buy 3 tickets.
