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
