Using proportions, it is found that the price of one mug before the sale price was of 6.99.
---------------------------------
- The first step is finding the current price, after the discount.
- Jackson spent 11.48 on two mugs, thus, the cost of a single mug is given by:
[tex]C = \frac{11.48}{2} = 5.74[/tex]
- The price was reduced by 1.25, thus, before the sale price, the cost was of 5.74 added to 1.25, that is:
[tex]5.74 + 1.25 = 6.99[/tex]
The price of one mug before the sale price was of 6.99.
