original cost price -----
selling price = (1.4)(.95)x
1.4(.95)x = 1064
x = 1064/(1.4(.95)) = 800
profit = 1064-800 = 264
check:
first markup = 1.4(800) = 1120
discount of 5% leaves .95(1120) = 1064
selling price = (1.4)(.95)x
1.4(.95)x = 1064
x = 1064/(1.4(.95)) = 800
profit = 1064-800 = 264
check:
first markup = 1.4(800) = 1120
discount of 5% leaves .95(1120) = 1064
