Answer:

£36.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the game was reduced by 1/4

This means that:

£27 = 3/4.

To find 1/3, divide 27 by 3. this gives us 9. Now we know that the game was reduced by £9. To find the original price, instead of taking £9 away, we do the inverse and add the £9. This gives us £36.

You can even check your answer also, as 9 is 1/4 of 36, this proving that the price before the reductio was £36.
