Answer 1

To determine how many tickets Joseph can buy, we first need to calculate how much money he has left after buying the hat.

1. Subtract the cost of the hat from the total amount of money Joseph has: \[ 34.25 - 12.50 = 21.75 \]

2. Now, with the remaining $21.75, we can find out how many tickets he can buy. Each ticket costs $7.25, so we divide the remaining amount by the ticket price: \[ 21.75 \div 7.25 = 3 \]

Joseph can buy 3 tickets.
