Nadia bought 5 tickets 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 = 32.50/5 B x = 32.50 (5) C x = 32.50 -5 D x = 32.50 +5
32.50 is the total cost, so you need to find the cost of each separate ticket. First, you take the total, 32.50, and you divide it by the number of tickets, 5. 32.50/5 The answer is A.
