25There were 46 more windbreakers than jumpsuits at first. If another 46 jumpsuits were added at first, the number of jumpsuits and windbreakers would be the same.
5 u + 46 = 3 u + 80
5 u - 3 u = 80 - 46
2 u = 34
1 u = 34 ÷ 2 = 17
Number of jumpsuits in the shop at first
= 5 u
= 5 x 17
= 85
Answer(s): 85
