There is no way to know the exact number of sweat glands that become more active in puberty.
There are two types of sweat glands, eccrine and apocrine.
The eccrine sweat glands are for cooling the body and are active your entire life and are located just about all over your body.
The apocrine sweat glands are the ones that occur in places like your arm pits, crotch, and peri-anal areas. They are the one that increase their secretions after the onset of puberty.

When do apocrine sweat glands become active?
Apocrine sweat glands become active at puberty, primarily due to hormonal changes, particularly the influence of androgens. These glands are located in specific areas of the body, such as the armpits and genital region, and they produce a thicker, odoriferous sweat when stimulated by factors like emotional stress or sexual arousal. Unlike eccrine glands, which are active from birth and help regulate body temperature, apocrine glands are associated with scent and are thought to play a role in social and reproductive signaling.
Glands that respond to rising androgen levels are the what glands?
According to my text book, "The sebaceous glands become particularly active during puberty when more male hormones (androgens) begin to be produced; thus the skin tends to become oilier during this period of life." Human A&P Lab. Manual by Marieb and Mitchell, 8th edition, pg 98. So I think it is sebaceous glands.
