In a kiosk that sells dresses, 935 black dresses were sold and 10% of the remaining dresses that were sold were green. Of the leftover, 40% of the dresses sold were pink dresses and the rest were brown dresses. Given that the number of brown dresses sold was 20% of the total number of dresses sold, how many green and black dresses were sold altogether?

The total number of pink and brown shirts is the combined repeated identity. Make the total number of pink and brown shirts the same. LCM of 9 and 5 is 45.
The number of brown shirts is repeated. Make the number of brown shirts the same. LCM of 27 and 1 is 27.
Number of black dresses
= 108 u - 5 u - 18 u
= 85 u
85 u = 935
1 u = 935 ÷ 85 = 11
Number of green and black dresses
= 5 u + 935
= (5 x 11) + 935
= 55 + 935
= 990
Answer(s): 990
