In a kiosk that sells windbreakers, 780 yellow windbreakers were sold and 25% of the remaining windbreakers that were sold were red. Of the leftover, 50% of the windbreakers sold were white windbreakers and the rest were silver windbreakers. Given that the number of silver windbreakers sold was 5% of the total number of windbreakers sold, how many red and yellow windbreakers were sold altogether?

The total number of white and silver shirts is the combined repeated identity. Make the total number of white and silver shirts the same. LCM of 3 and 2 is 6.
The number of silver shirts is repeated. Make the number of silver shirts the same. LCM of 3 and 1 is 3.
Number of yellow windbreakers
= 57 u - 2 u - 3 u
= 52 u
52 u = 780
1 u = 780 ÷ 52 = 15
Number of red and yellow windbreakers
= 2 u + 780
= (2 x 15) + 780
= 30 + 780
= 810
Answer(s): 810
