Let's assume the cost price of the goods is $100.
Profit percentage = 10%
Profit = 10% of $100 = $10
Selling price = Cost price + Profit
Selling price = $100 + $10 = $110
Now, the shopkeeper lost 20% of his goods during a theft.
Loss percentage = 20%
Loss = 20% of $100 = $20
After the theft, the remaining goods he has are worth $80 (100 - 20).
Now, let's calculate the overall loss percentage:
Loss percentage = (Loss / Selling Price) * 100
Loss percentage = ($20 / $110) * 100
Loss percentage = 18.18%
Therefore, the shopkeeper's overall loss percentage is 18.18%.

Let the cost price of the goods be Rs. 100.
Then, selling price of the goods = 100 + 10% of 100 = Rs. 110.
Loss incurred due to theft = 20% of 100 = Rs. 20.
Therefore, selling price of the remaining goods = 110 - 20 = Rs. 90.
Loss percentage = (110 - 90)/110 - 100 = 20/110 - 100 = 18.18%
Hence, the shopkeeper's loss percentage is 18.18%.
