Alright, let's break down the word problem step by step:

1. Understand the Problem:
- Hayden is selling snacks.
- Each snack costs \($1.50. - He made $\)15 in total.
- We need to find out how many snacks he sold.

2. Define the Variable:
- Let \(\( x \)\) be the number of snacks Hayden sold.

3. Set Up the Equation:
- Each snack costs \($1.50, so the total amount of money made from selling \( x \) snacks can be represented by \( 1.5 \times x \). - We know that this total amount is $\)15.

4. Formulate the Equation:
- Therefore, the equation to represent this situation is \(\( 1.5 \times x = 15 \)\).

5. Solve for \(\( x \)\):
- To find out how many snacks he sold, you would solve the equation \(\( 1.5 \times x = 15 \)\).

Given these steps, let's look at the provided options:

A. \(\( 15 - 1.5 \times x \)\)
B. \(\( 15 - 1.5x \)\)
C. \(\( 15 - 15x \)\)
D. \(\( 15x = 1.5 \)\)

None of the given options directly describe the equation \(\( 1.5 \times x = 15 \)\).

Therefore, there appears to be a misunderstanding or a mistake in the given options. The correct proper equation to solve the problem based on the breakdown is indeed:

\(\[ 1.5 \times x = 15 \]\)
