Joseph wants to buy tickets to the baseball games and a hat to wear to the game. He has $34.24. If his hat costs $12.50 and the tickets cost $7.25 each. How many tickets can he buy
To determine how many tickets Joseph can buy, we need to subtract the cost of the hat from Joseph's total budget: $34.24 - $12.50 = $<<34.24-12.5=21.74>>21.74.
To find the number of tickets Joseph can buy, we will divide the remaining budget by the cost of one ticket: $21.74 รท $7.25 = <<21.74/7.25=3>>3.
Thus, Joseph can buy three tickets. Answer: \boxed{3}.
