A merchant marks his goods up by 40% and then offers a discount of 15% on the marked price. What % profit does the merchant make after the discount?
Let, CP=100
So, MP=140
SP after 15% discount= 0.85*140=119
Profit= 119-100=19

Aha, it's important to read the question twice, kept wondering why my answer was wildly off, the discount was 40% not 45% haha.

$10 -> increases by 40% -> $14

$14 * 85% -> 11.90

11.90 - 10.00 = 1.90 -> 19% profit Answer Choice E
