The discounted price of the fountain was $1493.49

Mark up percentage is given by:

Mark up percentage = [(selling price - cost price)/cost price] * 100%

Given the store cost price of $995.66 it was marked up 100%, hence:

Mark up percentage = [(selling price - cost price)/cost price] * 100%

100% = [(selling price - 995.66)/995.66] * 100%

1 = [(selling price - 995.66)/995.66]

Selling price = $1991.32

It was then marked down 25%, let x represent the discount price, hence:

-25% = [(x - 1991.32)/1991.32]*100%

-0.25 = (x - 1991.32)/1991.32

x = 1493.49

Therefore, the discounted price of the fountain was $1493.49
