Answer 1

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

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

2. Now, divide the remaining amount by the cost of each ticket to see how many tickets he can buy: \[ 21.75 \div 7.25 \approx 3 \]

Therefore, Joseph can buy 3 tickets.
