Question

a store sells mugs each cost the same amount during sale store reduces price of mug by 1.25 Jackson spends 11.48 onto mugs at sale price what was the price of one mug before the sale

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be the price of one mug before the sale. The sale price is (x - 1.25). Jackson bought 2 mugs for 11.48 at sale price so:

`2(x-1.25)=11.48`

Solving for x:

`\begin{gathered} x-1.25=(11.48)/(2) \\ x=(11.48)/(2)+1.25 \\ x=5.74+1.25=6.99 \end{gathered}`

Answer:

The price before sale was $6.99
