In a shop that sells windbreakers, 48 white windbreakers were sold and 50% of the remaining windbreakers that were sold were silver. Of the leftover, 40% of the windbreakers sold were black windbreakers and the rest were blue windbreakers. Given that the number of blue windbreakers sold was 25% of the total number of windbreakers sold, how many silver and white windbreakers were sold altogether?

The total number of black and blue shirts is the combined repeated identity. Make the total number of black and blue shirts the same. LCM of 1 and 5 is 5.
The number of blue shirts is repeated. Make the number of blue shirts the same. LCM of 3 and 1 is 3.
Number of white windbreakers
= 9 u - 5 u - 2 u
= 2 u
2 u = 48
1 u = 48 ÷ 2 = 24
Number of silver and white windbreakers
= 5 u + 48
= (5 x 24) + 48
= 120 + 48
= 168
Answer(s): 168
