1 answer

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

$34.25 - $12.50 (cost of the hat) = $21.75

Now, we need to divide the remaining amount of money by the cost of each ticket to determine how many tickets Joseph can buy.

$21.75 / $7.25 (cost of each ticket) = 3

Therefore, Joseph can buy three tickets.
