In a mall that sells jumpsuits, 12250 gold jumpsuits were sold and 10% of the remaining jumpsuits that were sold were blue. Of the leftover, 40% of the jumpsuits sold were brown jumpsuits and the rest were pink jumpsuits. Given that the number of pink jumpsuits sold was 5% of the total number of jumpsuits sold, how many blue and gold jumpsuits were sold altogether?

The total number of brown and pink shirts is the combined repeated identity. Make the total number of brown and pink shirts the same. LCM of 9 and 5 is 45.
The number of pink shirts is repeated. Make the number of pink shirts the same. LCM of 27 and 1 is 27.
Number of gold jumpsuits
= 513 u - 5 u - 18 u
= 490 u
490 u = 12250
1 u = 12250 ÷ 490 = 25
Number of blue and gold jumpsuits
= 5 u + 12250
= (5 x 25) + 12250
= 125 + 12250
= 12375
Answer(s): 12375
