15There were 73 more shirts than jumpsuits at first. If another 73 jumpsuits were added at first, the number of jumpsuits and shirts would be the same.
5 u + 73 = 4 u + 62
5 u - 4 u = 62 - 73
1 u = -11
1 u = -11 ÷ 1 = -11
Number of jumpsuits in the shop at first
= 5 u
= 5 x -11
= -55
Answer(s): -55
