To find out how many tickets Joseph can buy, we need to subtract the cost of the hat from his total amount of money.
Total amount of money - cost of hat = amount of money left for tickets
$34.25 - $12.50 = $21.75
Now we divide the amount of money left by the cost of each ticket to find out how many tickets Joseph can buy.
$21.75 ÷ $7.25 = 3 tickets
Therefore, Joseph can buy 3 tickets.
