Joseph wants to buy tickets for the baseball game and a team hat to wear to the game. He has $34.25. If the hat costs

$12.50 and tickets cost $7.25 each, how many tickets can he buy? (1 point)

Let's subtract the cost of the hat from the total amount Joseph has: $34.25 - $12.50 = $<<34.25-12.50=21.75>>21.75

Now let's divide this amount by the cost of a ticket to find out how many tickets Joseph can buy: $21.75 รท $7.25 = <<21.75/7.25=3>>3
So Joseph can buy 3 tickets. Answer: \boxed{3}.
