14There were 99 more windbreakers than dresses at first. If another 99 dresses were added at first, the number of dresses and windbreakers would be the same.
4 u + 99 = 3 u + 58
4 u - 3 u = 58 - 99
1 u = -41
1 u = -41 ÷ 1 = -41
Number of dresses in the shop at first
= 4 u
= 4 x -41
= -164
Answer(s): -164
