To find out how many tickets Joseph can buy, we need to subtract the cost of the hat from the total amount he has.
Total amount he has: $34.25
Cost of the hat: $12.50
Amount remaining after buying the hat: $34.25 - $12.50 = $21.75
Now, we need to divide the remaining amount by the cost of each ticket.
Cost of each ticket: $7.25
Number of tickets Joseph can buy: $21.75 / $7.25 = 3 tickets
So, Joseph can buy 3 tickets.
