Answer:

$7.89

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Miguel spends $12.88 on 2 comic books then the amount spent on 1 book given that the prices of the books are equal will be

= $12.88/2

= $6.44

Given that  the store reduced the price of each comic book by $1.45 then the price P of 1 comic book before the sale

P = $6.44 + $1.45

= $7.89

The cost of 1 comic book before the sale ( which is before the reduction in price) is  $7.89
