Joseph wants to buy tickets for the basketball game and a team hat to wear to the game. He has $34.25 if the hat cost $12.50 and the tickets cost $7.25 each how many tickets can he buy?

Answer 1

Joseph wants to buy a hat for $12.50 and tickets that cost $7.25 each so that's 12.50+7.25 = $<<12.5+7.25=19.75>>19.75
Joseph has $34.25 and the hat and tickets will cost $19.75 so he has 34.25-19.75 = $<<34.25-19.75=14.50>>14.50 left
The tickets cost $7.25 each and Joseph has $14.50 left so he can buy 14.50/7.25 = <<14.50/7.25=2>>2 tickets. Answer: \boxed{2}.
