In a mall that sells jackets, 100 green jackets were sold and 10% of the remaining jackets that were sold were gold. Of the leftover, 50% of the jackets sold were purple jackets and the rest were grey jackets. Given that the number of grey jackets sold was 20% of the total number of jackets sold, how many gold and green jackets were sold altogether?

The total number of purple and grey shirts is the combined repeated identity. Make the total number of purple and grey shirts the same. LCM of 9 and 2 is 18.
The number of grey shirts is repeated. Make the number of grey shirts the same. LCM of 9 and 1 is 9.
Number of green jackets
= 36 u - 2 u - 9 u
= 25 u
25 u = 100
1 u = 100 ÷ 25 = 4
Number of gold and green jackets
= 2 u + 100
= (2 x 4) + 100
= 8 + 100
= 108
Answer(s): 108
