14There were 76 more windbreakers than sweaters at first. If another 76 sweaters were added at first, the number of sweaters and windbreakers would be the same.
4 u + 76 = 3 u + 54
4 u - 3 u = 54 - 76
1 u = -22
1 u = -22 ÷ 1 = -22
Number of sweaters in the shop at first
= 4 u
= 4 x -22
= -88
Answer(s): -88
