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 this is mathematically possible. Is it possible, and if so, what is the price of the cotton candy before the markup?

$6.00 divided by 3 = $2.00

So, $2.00 is your answer and yes, it is mathematically possible. Hope this helps! :)

Rainbow [258]

We have been given that red, green, and white jellybeans are combined in a ratio of 5:4:3 respectively. We are asked to find out the ratio of green jelly beans to the total number of jelly beans.

In order to find out  the ratio of green jelly beans to the total number of jelly beans we have to find out the total number of jelly beans.

\text{Total number of jelly beans}=5+4+3=12

Now we can find out out our desirable ratio by substituting our finding in the ratio.

\text{Number of green jelly beans}:\text{Total number of jelly beans}=4:12\\=1:3

Therefore, ratio of green jelly beans with respect to all jelly beans is 1:3.
