To find the cost of each ticket (x), we start with the equation given:
\[ 5x = 32.50. \]
To isolate \( x \), we can divide both sides of the equation by 5:
\[ x = \frac{32.50}{5}. \]
This simplifies to:
\[ x = 6.50. \]
Given this, the correct representation of the cost of each ticket in terms of an equation can be selected from the options provided.
The correct choice that represents the equation for the cost of each ticket \( x \) based on the provided equation \( 5x = 32.50 \) is:
**A. \( x = \frac{32.50}{5} \).**
\[ 5x = 32.50. \]
To isolate \( x \), we can divide both sides of the equation by 5:
