    Let us assume the original price of the coats before mark up = x

    Cost of the coats after mark up = $3000

    Percentage of mar up on the coats = 50%

    Then

    150x/100 = 3000

    150x = 300000

    x = 300000/150

    = 2000 dollars

    From the above deduction, it can be concluded that the actual cost of the coats were $2000. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
