14There were 96 more dresses than jumpsuits at first. If another 96 jumpsuits were added at first, the number of jumpsuits and dresses would be the same.
4 u + 96 = 3 u + 83
4 u - 3 u = 83 - 96
1 u = -13
1 u = -13 ÷ 1 = -13
Number of jumpsuits in the shop at first
= 4 u
= 4 x -13
= -52
Answer(s): -52
