Respuesta :

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:

[tex]2(x-1.25)=11.48[/tex]

Solving for x:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x-1.25=\frac{11.48}{2} \\ x=\frac{11.48}{2}+1.25 \\ x=5.74+1.25=6.99 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Answer:

The price before sale was $6.99
