To find the cost \( c \) of Brad's ticket, we need to set up an equation based on the given information.
Brad's total spending at the theater is \( 22.25 \) dollars, which includes the cost of the ticket \( c \) and the cost of the popcorn and soda, which is \( 10.25 \) dollars.
We can set up the equation as follows:
\[
c + 10.25 = 22.25
\]
Now, we can solve this equation for \( c \).
1. Subtract \( 10.25 \) from both sides:
\[
c = 22.25 - 10.25
\]
2. Perform the subtraction:
\[
c = 12.00
\]
Thus, the cost of Brad's ticket is **$12.00**.
