Final answer:

The number of tickets purchased today is 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of tickets purchased, we need to add up the totals of all the ticket purchases until we reach or exceed $813.75. Let's go through the list:

  1. $56.75
  2. $43.25
  3. $65.00
  4. $25.50
  5. $18.75
  6. $59.00
  7. $21.50
  8. $44.50
  9. $12.50
  10. $43.00
  11. $89.50
  12. $99.35
  13. $235.75

If we add up the first 12 totals, we get $647.35. Adding the last total of $235.75 gives us a total of $883.10, which is greater than $813.75. So, the number of tickets purchased today is 13.
