Given the following reasoning and answer, what was the question? If he sold a painting at a 10% loss, then he made a 10 / 100 * $40 = $4 loss on each painting. since he bought 10 paintings, the total loss he made from selling the paintings is 10 * $4 = $40. He also made a loss of 15 / 100 * 20 = $3 loss from selling each wooden toy. Since he bought 8 wooden toys, the total loss he made was 3 * 8 = $24. In total, Mr. Callen made a loss of $40 + $24 = $64 from the sales of the items.
 The answer: 64
The question Mr. Callen bought 10 paintings at $40 each and 8 wooden toys at $20 each from the crafts store to resell at a profit. However, when he sold the items, the selling price of a painting was 10% less and the selling price of a hat 15% less. Calculate the total loss Mr. Callen made from the sale of the items.
