In a kiosk that sells blazers, 600 silver blazers were sold and 10% of the remaining blazers that were sold were pink. Of the leftover, 50% of the blazers sold were gold blazers and the rest were white blazers. Given that the number of white blazers sold was 20% of the total number of blazers sold, how many pink and silver blazers were sold altogether?

The total number of gold and white shirts is the combined repeated identity. Make the total number of gold and white shirts the same. LCM of 9 and 2 is 18.
The number of white shirts is repeated. Make the number of white shirts the same. LCM of 9 and 1 is 9.
Number of silver blazers
= 36 u - 2 u - 9 u
= 25 u
25 u = 600
1 u = 600 ÷ 25 = 24
Number of pink and silver blazers
= 2 u + 600
= (2 x 24) + 600
= 48 + 600
= 648
Answer(s): 648
