Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

marked price = Rs. 3900

Explanation:

The difference between the discounts is 30% -20% = 10% of the marked price. The difference in Rs is 120 -(-270) = 390. If Rs. 390 is 10% of the marked price, then the marked price is (Rs. 390)/(0.10) = Rs. 3900.

The marked price is Rs. 3900.

Check

A 20% discount from 3900 is a price of 3120. If the profit is 120, the cost price is 3000. A 30% discount from 3900 is 2730. This is 270 below the 3000 cost price, so our answer is consistent with problem requirements.
