In a mall that sells coats, 200 red coats were sold and 25% of the remaining coats that were sold were black. Of the leftover, 60% of the coats sold were yellow coats and the rest were brown coats. Given that the number of brown coats sold was 20% of the total number of coats sold, how many black and red coats were sold altogether?

The total number of yellow and brown shirts is the combined repeated identity. Make the total number of yellow and brown shirts the same. LCM of 3 and 5 is 15.
The number of brown shirts is repeated. Make the number of brown shirts the same. LCM of 6 and 1 is 6.
Number of red coats
= 24 u - 5 u - 9 u
= 10 u
10 u = 200
1 u = 200 ÷ 10 = 20
Number of black and red coats
= 5 u + 200
= (5 x 20) + 200
= 100 + 200
= 300
Answer(s): 300
