15,000/3 = $5,000 = selling price to break even.
0.95 * 5000 = $4750 = selling price.
Loss = 5000-4750 = $250.
10,000 + 250 = $10,250 = selling price to break even.
15,000 * 1.08 = $16,200 = total selling price for 8% profit.
16,200-4750 = $11,450 = Selling price of the remaining 2/3 for 8% total profit.

11,450-10,000 = $1450 = profit on the remaining 2/3.
1450/10,000 * 100% = 14.5 % = Gain % on remaining 2/3.
1450/10,000 * 100% = 14.5 % = Gain % on remaining 2/3.
