Question

Nadia bought
tickets 5 to attend a spaghetti supper fundraiser at her school. The equation 5x=32.50
can be used to find x
, the cost of each ticket in dollars. Which equation represents the cost of each ticket?
A
x=32.505x=\frac{32.50}{5}x=
5
32.50
​

B
x=32.50(5)x=32.50\left(5\right)x=32.50(5)
C
x=32.50−5x=32.50-5x=32.50−5
D
x=32.50+5x=32.50+5x=32.50+5

Answer 1

To find the cost of each ticket, we start with the equation \( 5x = 32.50 \), where \( x \) is the cost of each ticket.

To isolate \( x \), we will divide both sides of the equation by 5:

\[
x = \frac{32.50}{5}
\]

Thus, the correct equation that represents the cost of each ticket is:

**A**: \( x = \frac{32.50}{5} \)
