Let the original cost be x


Price after 40% markup:

40% markup = 0.4x

price after markup = x + 0.4x = 1.4x


Price after discount :

15% discount = 15% of 1.4x = 0.15(1.4x) = 0.21x

Price after discount = 1.4x - 0.21x = 1.19x


Find profit:

Profit = 1.19x - x = 0.19x


Find profit percentage:

Profit percentage = 0.19x/x x 100 = 19%


Answer: The dealer makes 19% profit.
