since he brought $36.75 to the fair and bought 3 tickets after he arrived the question should be considered incomplete due to $36.75 not being the total cost of the 3 tickets. for example the equation should be final value (F)should be set equal to $36.75 minus the cost of the tickets(3T) or more simply F=$36.75-3T.

Let, the price of Each ticket = x
Amount of 3 tickets = 3x

Initial money = 36.75
Spend money = 3x

So, Final Amount = 36.75 - 3x

In short, Your Answer would be 36.75 - 3x

Hope this helps!
