He bought 10 stickers for 30 and want to make a whole of 10% profit which means he should sell all of them for 33.
Now he has sold 2 on 5%loss which means he sold 2 for 95x3/100 →2.85
He sold 2 for 2.85x 2 = 5.7
He is left with 8 only and want to have profit of 10% on whole se he should sell remaining for
33-5.7= 27.7
He should sell remainder for 27.7/8= 3.46
