In a kiosk that sells windbreakers, 308 silver windbreakers were sold and 10% of the remaining windbreakers that were sold were blue. Of the leftover, 60% of the windbreakers sold were gold windbreakers and the rest were green windbreakers. Given that the number of green windbreakers sold was 25% of the total number of windbreakers sold, how many blue and silver windbreakers were sold altogether?

The total number of gold and green shirts is the combined repeated identity. Make the total number of gold and green shirts the same. LCM of 9 and 5 is 45.
The number of green shirts is repeated. Make the number of green shirts the same. LCM of 18 and 1 is 18.
Number of silver windbreakers
= 54 u - 5 u - 27 u
= 22 u
22 u = 308
1 u = 308 ÷ 22 = 14
Number of blue and silver windbreakers
= 5 u + 308
= (5 x 14) + 308
= 70 + 308
= 378
Answer(s): 378
