Given:
C.P= ₹ 550
M.P= 20% more than the C.P
M.P= C.P + 20%of C.P
M.P = 550+ (20/100)× 550
M.P = 550 + 110= 660
M.P= ₹ 660
Discount = 20%of M.P
Discount= (20/100)× 660
Discount= 2×66= 132
Discount= ₹132
S.P = M.P - Discount
S.P = 660- 132
S.P = ₹ 528
C.P > S.P
Loss= C.P - S.P
Loss= 550- 528
Loss= ₹ 22
Loss%=( loss/C.P)×100%
Loss% =( 22/550)×100
Loss%= 4%
Hence,the loss is ₹22 & loss% is 4%

Solution :-
Given - Cost price of goods = Rs. 550
And, Marked Price = 20 % above the cost price
⇒ Marked Price = 550 + (550*20)/100
⇒ M.P. = 550 + 110
⇒ M.P. = Rs. 660
Now, The shopkeeper gives 20 % discount on M.P.
⇒ Discount = (660*20)/100
⇒ Discount = Rs. 132
Selling Price = Marked Price - Discount
⇒ S,P. = 660 - 132
S.P. = Rs. 528
Cost Price > Selling Price = Loss
Loss = Cost Price - Selling Price
⇒ Loss = 550 - 528
⇒ Loss = Rs. 22
Loss Percent = (Loss*100)/C.P.
⇒ (22*100)/550
⇒ 2200/550
⇒ 4 %
So, Loss is Rs. 22 and Loss Percent is 4 %

S.P. = Rs. 528
Cost Price > Selling Price = Loss
Loss = Cost Price - Selling Price
⇒ Loss = 550 - 528
⇒ Loss = Rs. 22
Loss Percent = (Loss*100)/C.P.
⇒ (22*100)/550
⇒ 2200/550
⇒ 4 %
So, Loss is Rs. 22 and Loss Percent is 4 %
