Answer 1

To determine how many tickets Joseph can buy, we need to first subtract the cost of the hat from his total amount of money, and then see how much is left for the tickets.

1. Cost of the hat: $12.50
2. Total amount Joseph has: $34.25
3. Remaining amount after buying the hat: \[ 34.25 - 12.50 = 21.75 \]

Now, we need to see how many tickets he can buy with the remaining $21.75, given the cost of each ticket is $7.25.

4. Cost of each ticket: $7.25
5. Number of tickets he can buy: \[ \frac{21.75}{7.25} \approx 3 \]

Therefore, Joseph can buy 3 tickets.

The correct response is: 3 tickets.
