Joseph wants to bug tickets for the basketball game and a team hat to wear to the game. He has $34.25 if the bag costs $12.50 and tickets cost $7.25 each, how many tickets can he buy?
Options:
3 tickets
6 tickets
1 ticket
2 tickets
To find out how many tickets Joseph can buy, we need to subtract the cost of the bag from the total amount of money Joseph has: $34.25 - $12.50 = $<<34.25-12.5=21.75>>21.75.
Now, we need to divide the remaining amount by the cost of each ticket to determine the number of tickets Joseph can buy: $21.75 / $7.25 = <<21.75/7.25=3>>3 tickets.
Therefore, Joseph can buy 3 tickets.
