Answer 1

To determine how many tickets Joseph can buy, we first need to subtract the cost of the hat from the total amount he has.

1. Calculate the remaining money after buying the hat:

   • Total money: $34.25
   • Cost of the hat: $12.50
   • Remaining money: $34.25 - $12.50 = $21.75

2. Determine how many tickets he can buy with the remaining money:

   • Cost of each ticket: $7.25
   • Number of tickets: $21.75 ÷ $7.25 ≈ 3

Now, we divide $21.75 by $7.25:

• 3 tickets: 3 × $7.25 = $21.75

Since Joseph can buy a full number of tickets, the answer is 3 tickets.
