In a kiosk that sells shirts, 200 green shirts were sold and 25% of the remaining shirts that were sold were silver. Of the leftover, 60% of the shirts sold were blue shirts and the rest were white shirts. Given that the number of white shirts sold was 10% of the total number of shirts sold, how many silver and green shirts were sold altogether?
25% =

The total number of blue and white shirts is the combined repeated identity. Make the total number of blue and white shirts the same. LCM of 3 and 5 is 15.
The number of white shirts is repeated. Make the number of white shirts the same. LCM of 6 and 1 is 6.
Number of green shirts
= 54 u - 5 u - 9 u
= 40 u
40 u = 200
1 u = 200 ÷ 25 = 5
Number of silver and green shirts
= 5 u + 200
= 5 x 5 + 200
= 25 + 200
= 225
Answer(s): 225
