a store sells comic books each comic book cost the same amount during a sale the store reduces the price of each comic book by $1.45 miguel spends $12.88 on 2 comic books at the sale price what was the price of 1 comic book before the sale

Answer 1

Let x be the original price of one comic book.

At the sale price, each comic book costs x - $1.45.

Miguel spent $12.88 on 2 comic books, so we can create the following equation:

2(x - $1.45) = $12.88
2x - $2.90 = $12.88
2x = $15.78
x = $7.89

Therefore, the price of one comic book before the sale was $7.89.
