In a mall that sells coats, 208 yellow coats were sold and 25% of the remaining coats that were sold were black. Of the leftover, 50% of the coats sold were pink coats and the rest were white coats. Given that the number of white coats sold was 5% of the total number of coats sold, how many black and yellow coats were sold altogether?

The total number of pink and white shirts is the combined repeated identity. Make the total number of pink and white shirts the same. LCM of 3 and 2 is 6.
The number of white shirts is repeated. Make the number of white shirts the same. LCM of 3 and 1 is 3.
Number of yellow coats
= 57 u - 2 u - 3 u
= 52 u
52 u = 208
1 u = 208 ÷ 52 = 4
Number of black and yellow coats
= 2 u + 208
= (2 x 4) + 208
= 8 + 208
= 216
Answer(s): 216
