At the amusement park, Laura paid $6.00 for a small cotton candy. Her older brother works at the park, and he told
her 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?

yes

The price of marked up candy is $6.00

perentage of mark up is 300%

let the marked up amount be represented as x

let 300% mark up be represented as 3x

the equatiopn for finding the price before markup

can be represented as 3x-x=$6.

                                    2x=$6

                                    x=$3.

Yes it is possible,

6 = 300% × W

6 = 3.00 x W

6/3 = W

2 = W

W : 2, which means that before the markup the cotton candy costs $2.00

the answer would be 484

step-by-step explanation:

just multiply 0.484 times 1,000 (formula)

your answer is -9
