Answer:

$6.47 for each shirt

Explanation:

If s is the cost of a shirt, then the cost of 5 shirts is ...

5s = $32.35

s = $32.35/5 = $6.47 . . . . . divide both sides of the equation by 5

The cost of each shirt was $6.47.

_____

Additional comment

The equation formalizes the math for you, perhaps helping you see that division by 5 is required.

To find cost per shirt, divide cost by shirts. "Per" can often be thought of as meaning "divided by."
