To answer the question above we must take note that based on the given, before reaching the price of the marker, the price of the game should be multiplied by 1/3 three times such that,

price of the marker = (price of the game) * (1/3) ^3

price of the marker = (price of the game) (1/27)

Thus, the answer is 1/27.
