110There were 93 more jackets than jumpsuits at first. If another 93 jumpsuits were added at first, the number of jumpsuits and jackets would be the same.
10 u + 93 = 9 u + 84
10 u - 9 u = 84 - 93
1 u = -9
1 u = -9 ÷ 1 = -9
Number of jumpsuits in the shop at first
= 10 u
= 10 x -9
= -90
Answer(s): -90
