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

Answer 1

First, we need to subtract the cost of the hat from Joseph's total. $34.25 - $12.50 = $<<34.25-12.5=21.75>>21.75.
Joseph has $21.75 left to spend on tickets.
To find out how many tickets Joseph can afford, we divide the amount left by the price of a ticket. $21.75 / $7.25 = <<21.75/7.25=3>>3.
Joseph can buy 3 tickets. Answer: \boxed{3}.
