Joseph wants to buy tickets for the baseball game and a team hat to wear to the game. He has $34.25 if the hast costs $12.50 and tickets cost $7.25 each, how many tickets can he buy?

Question

1 ticket

6 ticket

2 ticket

3 ticket

Answer 1

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

Joseph's total money: $34.25
Cost of the hat: $12.50
Amount left after buying the hat:
$34.25 - $12.50 = $21.75

Next, we find out how many tickets he can buy with the remaining amount. The cost of each ticket is $7.25. We can calculate the number of tickets by dividing the remaining amount by the price of a ticket:

Number of tickets = Remaining amount / Price per ticket
Number of tickets = $21.75 / $7.25 = 3

Joseph can buy 3 tickets.
