To calculate cost of inventory sold using the FIFO method:

Your sales on Mar 9 will include 160 units at the Mar 1 beginning inventory price and 160 units at the Mar 5 purchase price.

Your sales on Mar 29 will include 95 units at the Mar 5 purchase price and the remaining units sold will be at the Mar 18 purchase price
