    the price of each train ticket is $43.2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let's assume

    the price of each train ticket is x

    we are given

    total number of family members = 5

    so, total cost of ticket = total number of family members*the price of each ticket

    so, total cost of ticket = 5*x

    so, total cost of ticket = 5x

    now, we have

    each family member buys a boxed lunch for $6.50

    so, total cost of lunch box = total number of family members*price of each lunch box

    so, total cost of lunch box = 5*6.50

    total cost of trip = total cost of ticket+total cost of lunch box

    we are given

    total cost of trip is $248.50

    now, we can plug values

    and we get

    now, we can solve for x

    so,

    the price of each train ticket is $43.2
