A store manager must calculate the total number of winter hats available to sell in the store from a starting number of 293. In the past month, the store sold 43 blue hats, 96 black hats, 28 red hats, and 61 pink hats. The store received a shipment of 48 blue hats, 60 black hats, 18 red hats, and 24 pink hats. How many total hats does the store have for sale?

1. We start with 293 hats
2. We calculate the hats sold: (43 + 96 + 28 + 61) = 228
3. We subtract Step 2 from Step 1 to get remaining hats before the shipment: 293 - 228 = 65
4. Now we calculate the number of hats received in the shipment: (48 + 60 + 18 + 24) = 150
5. We add Step 4 to Step 3: 65 + 150 = 215 hats for sale
