25There were 90 more blazers than jumpsuits at first. If another 90 jumpsuits were added at first, the number of jumpsuits and blazers would be the same.
5 u + 90 = 3 u + 56
5 u - 3 u = 56 - 90
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
