14There were 44 more windbreakers than jackets at first. If another 44 jackets were added at first, the number of jackets and windbreakers would be the same.
4 u + 44 = 3 u + 82
4 u - 3 u = 82 - 44
1 u = 38
1 u = 38 ÷ 1 = 38
Number of jackets in the shop at first
= 4 u
= 4 x 38
= 152
Answer(s): 152
