Question

The marker cost 1/3 as much as the pen, the pen cost 1/3 as much as the book, the book cost 1/3 as much as the game. How much does the marker cost

Answer 1

Explanation:

We'll need the actual prices of one of the objects to figure it out...

but I've worked it out here in relation to each object....

Marker = 1/3 x cost of the pen

Marker = 1/3 x 1/3 x cost of book = 1/9 x cost of the book

Marker = 1/3 x 1/3 x 1/3 x cost of game = 1/27 x cost of the game

This probably isn't what you're looking for, but maybe it'll help?
