Answer:

The marker costs \(1/27\) as much as the game

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the cost of the marker

y-----> the cost of the pen

z----> the cost of the book

q----> the cost of the game

we know that

\(x=\frac{1}{3}y\) ----> equation A

\(y=\frac{1}{3}z\) -----> equation B

\(z=\frac{1}{3}q\) -----> equation C

Substitute equation C in equation B

\(y=\frac{1}{3}*\frac{1}{3}q=\frac{1}{9}q\)

\(y=\frac{1}{9}q\) ------> equation D

Substitute equation D in equation A

\(x=\frac{1}{3}*\frac{1}{9}q=\frac{1}{27}q\)

\(x=\frac{1}{27}q\)

therefore

The marker costs \(1/27\) as much as the game
