14There were 53 more shirts than windbreakers at first. If another 53 windbreakers were added at first, the number of windbreakers and shirts would be the same.
4 u + 53 = 3 u + 67
4 u - 3 u = 67 - 53
1 u = 14
1 u = 14 ÷ 1 = 14
Number of windbreakers in the shop at first
= 4 u
= 4 x 14
= 56
Answer(s): 56
