In a kiosk that sells sweaters, 150 silver sweaters were sold and 50% of the remaining sweaters that were sold were white. Of the leftover, 60% of the sweaters sold were yellow sweaters and the rest were pink sweaters. Given that the number of pink sweaters sold was 5% of the total number of sweaters sold, how many white and silver sweaters were sold altogether?

The total number of yellow and pink shirts is the combined repeated identity. Make the total number of yellow and pink shirts the same. LCM of 1 and 5 is 5.
The number of pink shirts is repeated. Make the number of pink shirts the same. LCM of 2 and 1 is 2.
Number of silver sweaters
= 38 u - 5 u - 3 u
= 30 u
30 u = 150
1 u = 150 ÷ 30 = 5
Number of white and silver sweaters
= 5 u + 150
= (5 x 5) + 150
= 25 + 150
= 175
Answer(s): 175
