At the amusement park Laura paid 6.00 for a small cotton candy her older brother works at the park and he told her that they mark up the cotton candy by 300% Laura does not think that is mathematically possible is it possible and if so what is the price of the cotton candy before the markup

that would mean 6 is 3 times the original price, 6 is divisible by 3 so it is possible and the price would be 2.00

Hope this helps :)
