Mr. Hatcher bought three movie tickets. 

Two tickets were for children which cost $2.50 each and one for an adult priced at $4.25. 

How much did Mr. Hatcher pay for the tickets?

2.50 + 2.50 = 5 + 4.25 = $9.25

Mr. Hatcher payed $9.25 for three movie tickets. 

I know this because I added the ticket amount for children 2.50 (Fudge) + 2.50 (Peter) and that gave me $5. Then, I added 5 + 4.25 (Mr.Hatcher), this brings the total to $9.25.
