Complete question :

store sells posters each poster cost the same amount door I sell the store reduces the price of each poster by $1.25 Kayla spent $17.17 on four posters at the sale price. What was the price of one poster before the sale

Answer:

5.5425

Explanation:

Given that:

Price of posters are the same.

Let price of poster before sale = x

Sale on poster = reduction by $1.25

Price on sale = x - 1.25

Amount spent on 4 posters during sale = $17.17

Hence, cost per poster during sale :

$17.17 / 4

= $4.2925

Therefore, cost per poster before sale, x:

Price on sale = x - 1.25

$4.2925 = x - 1.25

x = $4.2925 + $1.25

x = $5.5425
