    The correct equation form for finding the price of a sandwich is 5x + 1.25 = 38.75

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. Let's check all the information given for solving this question:

    Cost of bag of chips = US$ 1.25

    Cost of sandwich = x

    Cost of total order = US$ 38.75

    2. The formula for find the cost of sandwich (x) is this:

    5x + 1.25 = 38.75 (Joaquin ordered 5 sandwiches and a bag of chips)

    5x = 37.50 (Subtracting 1.25 at both sides)

    5x/5 = 37.50/5 (Dividing by 5 at both sides)

    x = 7.50

    The cost of each sandwich was US$ 7.50
