            In your post, 5% stay and play the same role as 3%.         ( which is WRONG ! )

            So, the question is not relevant to the given part,  as wells the given part is not relevant to the question.


            Naturally,  I can not solve the problem with wrong input data.

            Can you fix your post to make it correct ?
