Answer:

The difference is attributed to sales.

Explanation:

The difference of $10 will be attributed to sales because $20 is charged instead of $30 which means selling price has been changed. However, it cannot be considered as a loss because the cost price is not given. It might be the actual cost price for the item is $15 and the store is selling at $20 instead of $30. So, in this case, the store is making a profit of $5. Thus, the difference is considered as the sale difference.
