Answer 1

To determine how many tickets Joseph can buy, we first need to subtract the cost of the hat from his total amount of money.

1. Calculate the remaining amount after buying the hat:

\[ \text{Remaining amount} = \text{Total amount} - \text{Cost of the hat} = 34.25 - 12.50 = 21.75 \]

2. Next, we need to find out how many tickets he can buy with the remaining amount. The cost of each ticket is $7.25.

3. We can find the number of tickets by dividing the remaining amount by the cost of one ticket:

\[ \text{Number of tickets} = \frac{\text{Remaining amount}}{\text{Cost of one ticket}} = \frac{21.75}{7.25} \]

4. Performing the division:

\[ \frac{21.75}{7.25} \approx 3 \]

Thus, Joseph can buy 3 tickets.
