Answer 2

Answer:

(a) 50 necklaces

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be the total no. of neclaces.

Given, ( 1/4 ) * x = 20              ( necklace recieved by Sherry )

      =>            x = 20*4 = 80

so, After giving 20 out of 80 necklaces, the remaining left with mother is

= 80-20 = 60

then the mother kept 10 necklace for herself and given the rest to Punita

=> the necklace that Punita recieved = 60-10

                                                              = 50 necklaces
