15There were 43 more windbreakers than jackets at first. If another 43 jackets were added at first, the number of jackets and windbreakers would be the same.
5 u + 43 = 4 u + 93
5 u - 4 u = 93 - 43
1 u = 50
1 u = 50 ÷ 1 = 50
Number of jackets in the shop at first
= 5 u
= 5 x 50
= 250
Answer(s): 250
