110There were 93 more jackets than blouses at first. If another 93 blouses were added at first, the number of blouses and jackets would be the same.
10 u + 93 = 9 u + 57
10 u - 9 u = 57 - 93
1 u = -36
1 u = -36 ÷ 1 = -36
Number of blouses in the shop at first
= 10 u
= 10 x -36
= -360
Answer(s): -360
