~Hello There!~

Step A:

Divide 120 by 3:

120/3 = 40

$40 is 1/3 of the original price

However, the question says that it was marked down by 1/3, therefore, you must subtract 40 from 120 to get the answer:

120 - 40 = 80

In short, the answer is $80.

Step B:

Divide 80 by 2:

80/2 = 40

$40 is 1/2 of the sales price

The question states that it was marked up by this amount, therefore, you must add it onto 80:

80 + 40 = 120

In short, the answer is $120.

Hope This Helps You!

Good Luck :)

Have A Great Day ^_^
