Solution Steps

Step 1: Determine the Cost of One Ticket

The cost of one ticket is given as \$2.50.

Step 2: Determine the Total Amount Marco Can Spend

Marco has a total of \$12.25 to spend on tickets.

Step 3: Calculate the Maximum Number of Tickets Marco Can Buy

To find out how many tickets Marco can buy, divide the total amount he has by the cost of one ticket:

\[ \text{Number of tickets} = \frac{12.25}{2.50} = 4.9 \]

Since Marco cannot buy a fraction of a ticket, he can only purchase whole tickets. Therefore, he can buy 4 tickets.

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{4 \text{ tickets}} \]
