Answer:

66

Step-by-step explanation:

105+420=525   (Total Money)

7x3.25=22.75   (Cost of all bracelets)

8x11.74=93.92   (Cost of all necklaces)

93.92+22.75=116.67   (Cost of all Christmas presents)

525-116.67=408.33   (Total money - Cost of all Christmas presents)

408.33/6.15=66.39...   (Amount of necklaces)

since in real life you can only buy a whole number of things, you would round down 66.39 to 66. I hope this helped!
