In a kiosk that sells sweaters, 360 silver sweaters were sold and 50% of the remaining sweaters that were sold were pink. Of the leftover, 60% of the sweaters sold were red sweaters and the rest were gold sweaters. Given that the number of gold sweaters sold was 5% of the total number of sweaters sold, how many pink and silver sweaters were sold altogether?

The total number of red and gold shirts is the combined repeated identity. Make the total number of red and gold shirts the same. LCM of 1 and 5 is 5.
The number of gold shirts is repeated. Make the number of gold shirts the same. LCM of 2 and 1 is 2.
Number of silver sweaters
= 38 u - 5 u - 3 u
= 30 u
30 u = 360
1 u = 360 ÷ 30 = 12
Number of pink and silver sweaters
= 5 u + 360
= (5 x 12) + 360
= 60 + 360
= 420
Answer(s): 420
