Answer: $7.39

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a store sells mugs and that each mugs cost the same amount. We are further told that during a sale the store reduces of each mug by $1.75 and that Wen spends $28.20 on 5 mugs.

Since the store reduced $1.75 on each mugs, the amount that When would have paid without the discount will be:

= $28.20 + ($1.75 × 5)

= $28.20 + $8.75

= $36.95

The price of one mug before the sale will then be:

= $36.95 / 5

= $7.39
