Answer 1

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

1. Total money Joseph has: $34.25
2. Cost of the hat: $12.50

Subtract the cost of the hat from the total money:

\[ 34.25 - 12.50 = 21.75 \]

Joseph has $21.75 left to spend on tickets.

Next, we need to figure out how many tickets he can buy with the remaining money:

3. Cost of each ticket: $7.25

Now, divide the remaining money by the cost of each ticket:

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

Joseph can buy 3 tickets.

Therefore, the answer is:

3 tickets
